Configuring User Permissions - Sonoran Software Documentation

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.
