About inheritance of configuration properties

To streamline the configuration of people-related records, CIC automatically assigns rights to roles, workgroups, and users based on a system of inheritance.

• All users inherit some initial rights from the default user.

• If you create workgroups, users who are members of a workgroup also inherit rights from that workgroup.

• If you create a role, users who are assigned to the role inherit the rights associated with that role.

• If a user is a member of more than one workgroup, or is assigned more than one role, and if those workgroups and roles include conflicting rights, the user will inherit the union of the rights set in all the workgroups and roles.
