Enable custom user permissions for a member set

When you select the Customize user permissions check box for a member set, the permissions for individual users in the role can be restricted to that member set. You must belong to the Data Administrator or Modeler role to turn on this feature on the Role page. And you must belong to the User Administrator role to customize user permissions on the Users page.

Important

When you select this check box, both Read access and Write access to the selected member set are set to None for all users in the role and for all users who are added to the role in the future. Therefore, permissions will have to be individually configured for each user who requires Read or Write permissions to the member set. Conversely, clearing the check box removes any customized user permissions to the selected member set. For more information, see Edit user permissions in a business role.
