How do I edit user role permissions in an account?

Account admins can add or remove user roles to or from a group of permissions.

Notes:
•   This feature is enabled by default for account admins, but can be turned on for admins and IT admins.
•   Some user role permissions are locked by default and cannot be modified.
•   A user cannot modify their own role.
•   Custom user roles can be deleted; however, default user roles cannot be deleted.
•   Admins can limit a manager’s default permissions but cannot give the manager role additional permissions. 
•   Additional permissions can only be given to managers by assigning them an additional role like admin or account admin.
•   This feature is not available in Bridge for Teams accounts.

View Permissions

On the Permissions page, locate the permission or group of permissions you want to edit. To view individual permissions within a group, click the expand/collapse arrow.

To edit a group of permissions, locate the permission group [2] and click the Edit icon [3].

Note: Changes will apply to all permissions within the group. You will still be able to modify individual permissions within the group.

Note: Some permissions are not part of a group.

To add a user role to a permission, click the checkbox next to the role you want to add [4]. If you are adding a role to the permission group, the role will be added to all the permissions within the group.

To create a custom role, click the Create Custom Role link [5].

To remove a user role from a permission, click the checkbox next to the role you want to remove.
