Override global settings to control individual user permissions.

The User Management section of the Settings tab allows administrators to define user-specific permissions that take precedence over values configured in General Settings. Overrides apply only to the selected users and remain in effect unless reset in General Settings.

Edit user permissions

  1. Navigate to the Settings tab.

  2. Select one or more users.

  3. Select Edit permission. (The button appears only after at least one user is selected.)

    Configure

  4. In the Edit permissions panel, select Override global setting.

  5. Choose Yes or No for each available permission:

    • Share collections.
    • Create attributes.

  6. Save the configuration when you are done.

How overrides behave

  • If Override global setting is not selected, the user inherits the value configured in General Settings.
  • When selected, the chosen Yes/No value applies to the user regardless of the global configuration.
  • The override remains active until an administrator selects Apply to All in General Settings, which removes individual overrides and aligns all users to the global value.
  • The override control enables user-specific configuration, but does not indicate whether the global and user values currently differ.

Multi-user configuration behavior

When configuring multiple users:

  • If selected users share the same current value, that value appears in the dropdown.
  • If selected users have different values, the dropdown displays Select.
  • Choosing a new value applies that value to all selected users.
