| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The result is that the user is denied the right to update any [[archival description|archival descriptions]] EXCEPT those from the [[archival institution]] that was selected in step 7. Repeat these steps as often as needed until you have refined the user permissions to the desired extent.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Please note that this feature is at a relatively early stage of development in ICA-AtoM 1.0.8. Future versions will allow for adding multiple permissions without having to save the record after each change, and will also allow permissions to be refined for [[authority record|authority records]], [[archival institution|archival institutions]] and other types of records and activities.

Default permissions for contributor group
When refining user permissions, it is often useful to start with the group to which the user belongs. You can refine permissions for the group, then add users to the group, all of whom will inherit the modified permissions.
Scenario: In a multi-repository system, add a user who can create, update and publish archival descriptions belonging to one institution only.
1. In the main menu bar, go to admin > groups > contributor. Click on Archival description permissions. Your screen will show the default permissions for the contributor group.
