  • Site-level roles determine the access a user or group has to devices in the site.

Permissions considerations

  • Subsites inherit permissions from all parent sites, including the ultimate parent.

  • Users can belong to multiple groups. When roles conflict, the user receives the highest role granted directly or through any group.

  • Group-assigned roles can be manually upgraded but not downgraded. Remove the user from the group with the higher role to downgrade their access.
