# Custom Rights: Adjusting Individual User Permissions
## Adjust individual user permissions without changing their assigned group.
Custom Rights allow administrators to adjust permissions for an **existing user** without changing their assigned group. This is useful when you need to modify access to a specific section or a few features while keeping the user in their current role.
**Important:** If a user requires *additional access beyond what their current group allows*, we recommend updating their **group** instead (for example, changing a Promotions Assistant to a Promotions Director).
---
#### When to Use Custom Rights
- Adjust access to a specific section (e.g., Contests)
- Enable or disable a small number of permissions
- Make quick, targeted changes without impacting the user’s overall role
---
#### How to Update Custom Rights
1. Log in to **PromoSuite Next**.
2. Navigate to the **Security** tab.
3. Click **User Management**.
4. Locate the user by:
- Entering their **first name, last name, or email** and clicking the **Search** icon, **or**
- Clicking the **Folder** icon in the toolbar to browse users.
5. Once the user profile appears, click the **Custom Rights** tab on the left-hand side.
6. A drop-down style menu will display different sections of the program.
7. Select the appropriate **station** and **section** (for example, *Contests*).
8. Update the permissions as needed.
9. Click **Save** to apply the changes.
Note: Changes will not apply until the user logs out of their account and signs back in.
---
#### Security Restrictions
For security reasons, some accounts do **not** have permission to modify certain settings, such as **SSN-related permissions**. If you are unable to change these settings, access has been restricted by your company.
In this case, we recommend reaching out to your **internal administrator or company contact** directly for assistance.
