Introduction

From 'UserUsers' option in the menu, the user with Security Admin permissions, can choose to manage Users or User Groups.

Permissions inheritance

Each user or user group can be member of one or more user groups. This can be set through the Main Tab inside Create New User / New User Group or Edit User / Edit User Group popup.

...

• A user is given 'Report Admin' permission
• In a second time, when more admin are needed, a user group 'Report Admin' is created (with 'Report Admin' permission) and the user is set as member of the group
• After a period for any reason, the admin wants to take out the 'Report Admin' permission from the user. He will remove the user from the 'Report Admin' group and think this is enough, while as the user had the 'Report Admin' permission set previously on himself, even if he is no more member of 'Report Admin' user group, he will still maintain the capabilities associated to 'Report Admin' permission.

To remove duplicated permissions:

1. Unselect 'Show inherited permissions' flag to view permission set for the current user or user group
2. Unselect the duplicated permission 
3. Select again  'Show inherited permissions' flag, the duplicated symbol will not appear any more
4. Save
