# Configuring User Permissions {% embed url="" %} ## Rank Permissions When configuring a rank, each permission can be set to **Grant**, **Unset**, or **Deny**: * **Grant** — Explicitly gives the permission to anyone with that rank. * **Unset** — Neither grants nor denies the permission; it simply leaves it unchanged. * **Deny** — Blocks the permission, even if another rank would otherwise grant it. A denied permission always overrides a grant. Use **Deny** sparingly. It’s best suited for special ranks that must override other granted permissions, such as a temporary ban rank. In most cases, leaving a permission **Unset** is sufficient, as it will not grant the permission on its own.

## Viewing User Permissions You can view a user’s computed permissions directly in the account portal. Click the **(i)** icon above their ranks to see every permission that’s granted, unset, or denied. Hover over any permission to see a tooltip listing the groups and ranks responsible for granting or denying it.
