Use this dialog to view or change user or group access to pages that inherit template characteristics. Access this dialog for new users from Template Inheritance Security Add User or Template Inheritance Security Add Groups or by clicking the edit icon for a user or group with current access in the Template Inheritance Security. dialog.

Settings in Inheritance Restrictions control what's available for assignment here.

This dialog displays the following options.

User/Group: Displays the name of the user or group whose permissions you’re viewing or changing. CommonSpot displays email addresses for individual users.

No Rights: (Displays to users or admins with permission to exclude rights) Disables all rights to the page or object.
Approval: Displays approval roles set through Site Administration Approval Levels options. Select from the dropdown to optionally assign these explicit rights.
