How To Customize User Permissions

 

If a PromoSuite Next user requires a set of permissions not defined in our pre-defined User Groups - a local market administrator can always create a custom permissions "profile" and apply it to one or more users. 

If you first need to create the user - start with our post on How To Create A New User.

If you are modifying an existing user - continue reading below.

 

In PromoSuite Next, go to 1) Security > 2) User Management.

NOTES

  • Users can only be assigned to one group.

  • Before customizing permissions, consider adding your user to another User Group - read more about groups and permissions in our article PromoSuite Next User Groups and associated Permissions.

  • You cannot remove any of the "base" permissions in our pre-defined User Groups; however, you may "add" permissions to a user's assigned User Group, just for that user (when needed).

  • A user may need to log out and log back in to see changes to their permissions.

  • To make a custom change to an entire User Group you can follow the steps above in Security > Group Management.
