Inherited permissions

These are permissions inherited from the resource's parents, meaning the principals (User, Team) has a permission that is relevant to this resource on its parent → and it gets inherited to this resource.

Key characteristics

Inherited Permissions
  • Cannot be modified from this resource's access window

  • Must be changed at the parent resource where it was originally set

  • Can be overridden locally with a Direct Deny (except admin, which cannot be denied)

How to modify inherited permissions

Option 1: Change at the parent

  • Navigate to the parent resource's access window

  • Modify the permission there - changes will flow down to all children

Option 2: Override locally

  • Use Direct Permissions to set Deny (✖) for specific actions

  • This blocks the inherited permission even if it's allowed at the parent
