What is inherited in organizational structures?⚓︎

If you open the permissions for an organizational structure, the currently configured permissions will be visible. In the following example, there are a total of four roles with varying permissions for the organizational structure.

Relevant rights⚓︎

The following options are required to view "inherit" and "overwrite" icons.

User right⚓︎

• Can overwrite permissions
• Can inherit permissions

The two highlighted options are now available on the ribbon.

• Inherit: This means that all of the configurations defined in the current permissions mask are inherited by underlying organizational structures when it is saved. The permissions are added to existing ones
• Overwrite: This means that all of the configurations defined are applied to underlying organizational structures when it is saved. The previous permissions are lost.

Both mechanisms are protected by a confirmation prompt. If both "inherit" and also "overwrite" are selected, "overwrite" is considered the overriding function.
