How do I manage a user's permissions?

Understanding Permissions

Note: Only admins can change user permissions.

You can edit a user's permissions in Galley in two ways: in bulk or individually.

Bulk editing user permissions

Click on your profile icon from the Galley dashboard and select Settings. Click on the Users tab. Select the users you'd like to edit, then click the Edit icon that appears in the menu at the bottom of the screen. Be sure to click the Save button once the changes have been made.

  1. Accessing Settings: Begin by navigating to your Galley dashboard and locate your profile icon. Click it to reveal a dropdown menu and select "Settings."

  2. Users Tab: Within the Settings menu, find and click the "Users" tab. This will open a list of all users associated with your Galley account.

  3. Selecting Users: Identify the users whose permissions you intend to modify. You can select multiple users simultaneously.

  4. Bulk Edit: Once the target users are selected, a menu will appear at the bottom of the screen. Locate and click the "Edit" icon.

Note: Within the bulk editing interface, note the two options available for updating permissions: "Set Permissions" and "Add Permissions." 

  • Set Permissions: Selecting this option will overwrite all existing user permissions with the specified ones. This is useful when you want a uniform set of permissions for the chosen users.

  • Add Permissions: Use this option if you want to retain individual user permissions while adding new specific ones. Each user will maintain their existing permissions, and only the newly specified permissions will be added.

5. Saving Changes: After configuring the desired permission updates and choosing the appropriate method, click the "Save" button to implement the changes across the selected user profiles.

Editing an individual user's permissions

When it comes to editing the permissions of an individual user, you have two methods:

  1. Editing via Users Page:

    • Navigate to the Users page from your Galley dashboard.
    • Locate the specific user whose permissions you wish to modify.
    • Click on the user's profile to access a dedicated menu.
    • Within this menu, find and click on the "Access" tab to view and adjust the user's permissions.
    • Once you've made the necessary changes, ensure to click the "Save" button located at the bottom of the page to confirm and apply the modifications.

  2. Accessing Individual User's Permissions Page:

    • Alternatively, you can directly access an individual user's permissions page.
    • Click on the user you want to edit from the Users page, directing you to their dedicated profile page.
    • Locate and click on the "Access" tab within the user's profile. This will display the current permissions settings.
    • Adjust the permissions as needed, and when satisfied with the changes, click on the "Save Changes" button positioned at the bottom of the page to save your modifications.
