#### **User Role Priority** 

If you would like a user belonging to a user group to have different access to the group’s default, you can assign them individual permissions within the project. For example, Nicole F. Yutankin has been assigned as a diagram editor within the software, she is a member of the "Test Group," which only has Viewer access to the Dinosaur Park Project.

To give Nicole her assigned access role instead, go to **Add > User**, then select **Nicole F,**adding her to the project as a user out with the group. From here individual access takes priority over group access.  

**How does it work if a user is in a group and then assigned individually? **The individual access takes priority. 

#### **Delete a Group** 

**Step 1: In the User Groups menu, click the Bin icon to delete a group. **
