Administrators can use the Capabilities feature to restrict what SlideRocket features standard users in that account can access. Capabilities can only be set for a group, not for an individual user. Any user that is added to a group will inherit the capabilities that were set for the group. Trial, Pro, and Enterprise users can restrict group capabilities.

Viewing a User’s Capabilities

If there is ever concern about an individual user’s capabilities, they can be checked under the user’s section. It is not possible to edit an individual user’s capabilities. To change the capabilities of a user, the capabilities of the group which he or she belongs to must be changed.

 

1. Click account 
2. Click Manage Users and Groups 
3. Right-click user’s name and select View User Capabilities… 
4. Click Close when finished

 

 

 

ADVANCED NOTES: 

• The capabilities of administrators can never be restricted, regardless of the groups to which they belong
• If a standard user is in multiple groups, the most restrictive capabilities will be applied
