# How to Change a User's Playbook Permissions

This article describes how to change a user's access (permissions) to one or more scan playbooks.

Use the following steps to edit a user's permissions to one or more Scan Playbooks:

1.  From the left side navigation menu navigate to the **User Management** page (Settings > User Management).
2.  Ensure you are on the **USERS** tab.
3.  In the table shown locate the user whose Playbook permissions you wish to change.
4.  Click the more options menu (3 veritcal dots) at the end of the row.
5.  Click **Manage Permissions** from the sub-menu.

6.  The **Manage User Permissions: <User First Name Last Name>** page opens.
7.  Click the **PLAYBOOKS** tab from the top of the page.
8.  A table of playbooks for the selected user is displayed.
9.  Locate a Playbook to edit permissions for.
10.  If you change a user's access to a specific playbook, this overrides the permission inherited from the user's role (for that playbook).
11.  1.  In the example below note the user access to a playbook is changed from "Inherited" to "Read" for a single scan. Access to all other playbooks is unaffected. The **Role Access** column displays the role permissions have been overridden (from Inherited to Read) for the highlighted playbook.

12.  Locate a playbook to edit permissions for in the table.
13.  For the desired playbook, select any of the following options from the "Playbook Access (User)" column:
14.  -   **Inherited** \- Access rights are inhertied from the Role the user is a member of
     -   **None** \- No access to the playbook, including view access (user will not see the scan at all)
     -   **Read** \- Read-only access to the playbook
     -   **Manage** \- Full permissions to the playbook. Read, Write, Modify, etc.
15.  Changes apply to the user account the moment the change is made.
16.  Note that changes to a playbook overrides the access set by the user's role for that scan and the **Role Access** column displays the text "(Overridden)" to indicate this.
