Permissions originate from the SIS. However, Administrators may want to enhance or restrict a member's permissions - or, create a new permission set altogether.

- Search for the member you’re looking for by typing part or all of the person’s first or last name, searching by email address, ID #, or by phone number (no dashes or parentheses)
