Concept: Access Control Permission Inheritance

Peakon

Users can be part of multiple groups at the same time. Example: All managers and administrators are also survey participants, and are therefore part of the Employees group (an Individual
type group).

When a leader is in 2 access groups of the same level, the settings across the groups work together. There are differences when a leader is in 2 different level groups:

Active settings in an

All employees

group are also available when the leader views managed segments through their

Managed employees

access.

Active settings in a

Managed employees

group aren't available when the leader views company level data through their

All employees

access.

Example

This table explains the varying experience of users who are in 2 general access groups where comments are active in 1 group, but inactive in the other group.

Comments active	Comments inactive	Experience
All employees	All employees	Comments are active.
All employees	Managed Employees	Comments are active in managed segment and company context.
Managed employees	All employees	Comments are active in managed segment context.
Managed employees	Managed employees	Comments are active.
