Permissions are the association of privileges, which are actions that are provided by resources such as a Perforce Chronicle module, to roles. For example, you may want to give users having the member role the privileges to add new categories and associate them with content, but not give them the privilege of managing categories. There are many privileges provided by Chronicle and each activated module can implement its own resources and privileges.

The Manage Permissions screen is where management of privilege and role associations are performed. Privileges are listed vertically in the first column, roles are listed horizontally, representing the grid of possible permission associations. Hover your mouse over each of the numbered callouts to highlight the associated area of the screen.

(1)	Filter by Text Search: Enter text to filter the list of permissions to entries containing the text.
(2)	Filter by Resource: Click on one or more checkboxes to filter the list of permissions to entries of the selected resources. When no checkboxes are checked, permissions for every resource are included.
(3)	Resources: Resources are groups of privileges, typically provided by a Chronicle module. Clicking on the checkboxes in these rows toggles all of the resource's privileges on or off.
(4)	Privilege: Each privilege provided by a resource is listed in its own row.
(5)	Roles: Each configured role is listed in its own column. If there are more roles than can fit on-screen, a horizontal scrollbar appears near the bottom of the grid.
(6)	Checkboxes: Each checked checkbox indicates that the privilege in the checkbox's row has been permitted to the role in the checkbox's column. Unchecked checkboxes indicate that the checkbox's role does not have permission to use the privilege in the checkbox's row.
(7)	Buttons: Checking or unchecking checkboxes does not immediately save the permission changes. You must click Save Changes to apply any permissions changes you have made. If necessary, you may click Reset to Defaults to reset all permissions to their default state.
