Users and Roles (Setup / System) - Add Permissions To Restrict User and Role Setup Access (21014)

Two new permissions have been added to provide better control over who can add and edit users, roles, and permissions.   These two permissions operate independently:


Permission 488:  Add / Edit Users, User Roles, and User Division Access 

  • Controls access to the User Setup screen
  • When disabled for a given role, the Users option is hidden from Setup > System menu options to any user assigned to that role. 
  • Note:  Users can still view and edit their own personal user profile when this is disabled.

Permission 489:  Add / Edit Roles and Role Permission Access 

  • Controls access to the Role Setup and Permission Setup screens
  • When disabled for a given role, the Roles option and the Permissions option are both hidden from Setup > System menu options to any user assigned to that role. 

To ensure uninterrupted access, a one-time script was run to automatically grant both new permissions to all existing roles that already had access to Setup / System (Permission 120).


If you wish to restrict certain roles from editing users, roles, and permissions, you will need to manually remove these new permissions from those roles.
