Assign permissions for product groups
Managers for accounts with multiple users can grant permissions at the product level, to let some users work only on specific products. If your account includes product groups, you might also be able to assign permissions at the product-group level: to all or some products in the group (if you restrict permissions further). If your account has access to this option, when you choose to grant customized permissions for any user or edit the permissions for an existing user, you’ll see your products organized by product groups. Granting permissions for a product group and its products works similarly to granting permissions for an individual product and its add-ons. This process is described in the Assign product-level custom permissions topic. See also the Overview of custom permissions for account users topic. Here are the differences:- The permission you grant at the product group level will apply to all products that are in the group now or will be added in the future.
- If you select Read only at the product group level, you can select either Read/write or Read only for individual products within that product group. However, if you select Read/write at the product group level, you can select only Read/write for individual products within that product group.
