Note

BE ADVISED

A user may only be assigned to a single (1) security group.

Warning

WARNING

A user may only assign a security group that is equal to or less than the one they currently hold. This is to avoid the potential for privilege escalation in user account access.

The table below outlines the security groups that may be assigned to a user via the Paradigm user interface. The permissions are ordered based on scope of access from least to greatest.
