--- title: "Defining Global Permissions" canonical: "https://docs.infoblox.com/space/nios90/1343324540/Defining%20Global%20Permissions" format: markdown --- You can define permissions at a global level for an admin group or admin role. To define global permissions: 1. For an admin group: From the **Administration** tab, select the **Administrators** tab -> **Permissions** tab -> *admin_group* in the Groups table, and then click the Add icon -> **Global** **Permissions** from the Create New Permission area or select Add -> **Global** **Permissions** from the Toolbar. or For an admin role: From the **Administration** tab, select the **Administrators** tab -> **Permissions** tab -> *admin_role* in the Roles table, and then click Add icon -> **Global** **Permissions** from the Create New Permission area or select Add -> **Global** **Permissions** from the Toolbar. 2. Grid Manager displays the *Manage* *Global* *Permissions* editor. For an admin group, the appliance displays the selected admin group in the **Group** **Permission** field. For an admin role, the appliance displays the selected admin role in the **Role** **Permission** field. You can also select a different group or role from the drop-down list. 3. Select the resources that you want to configure from the **Permission** **Type** drop-down list. Depending on your selection, Grid Manager displays the corresponding resources for the selected permission type in the table. 4. Select **Read/Write**, **Read-Only**, or **Deny** for the resources you want to configure. By default, the appliance denies access to resources if you do not specifically configure them. 5. Optionally, select additional resources from the **Permission** **Type** drop-down list. Grid Manager appends the new resources to the ones that you have already configured. Define the permissions for the resources you select. 6. Save the configuration and click **Restart** if it appears at the top of the screen. The below Global Permissions table lists global permissions you can assign to admin groups or admin roles: *Global* *Permissions* | **Permissions (Read/Write, Read-Only, or Deny)** | | --- | |
