Scenarios
User A is in 2 groups that both have permissions set for the Work Order Standard module's Run permission. The following scenarios illustrate the final effective permissions for the user depending on the group and individual settings that are applied.
In the Groups grid or Users grid select one or more groups/users to grant a permission to.
Under the Permission Controls on the Modules View tab, expand the suite that the permissions need to be granted to. In this example, we are going to use the Inventory Suite.
