# 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

<figure><img src="/files/iotf7ZOfEQMF2o9yUKMr" alt=""><figcaption><p>Inherited Permissions</p></figcaption></figure>

* **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](/documentation/access-control/ui/direct.md) to set **Deny (✖)** for specific actions
* This blocks the inherited permission even if it's allowed at the parent

{% hint style="warning" %}
**`admin` cannot be denied** - inherited admin permissions cannot be overridden with a local deny.
