Exceptions

The Exceptions tab displays all of the current permission exceptions that have been created for Users and Groups under the specified account.

When the permission level is set for an Object Type (i.e. Account, Domain, Resource Record etc), every sub-Object adheres to that permission level; unless you create an exception. Let’s say for instance, you create Group A, and you set the permission level for Domain to READ WRITE, thereby allowing every user in Group A to View and Edit all domains. However, there is one specific zone that you don’t want the users in Group A to be able to edit, so you create an exception for that one zone, to set the permission level to READ only.

Viewing Exceptions

To see a list of the current exceptions for an account:

1. Click on Accounts from the left-hand navigation menu.

2. Select the desired Account Name.

3. Click on the Exceptions tab. The Permission Exceptions menu will appear.

4. Each exception provides the following details:

   1. User/Group – The current User or Group that has the exception.

   2. Object – The specific object name being impacted (i.e. a zone name).

   3. Object Type – The category to which the Object belongs.

      1. For example, if a specific zone has been given the exception, the Object Type will be Zone.

   4. Permission – The current permission level (with the exception included) that is impacting the object.

Edit an Exception

To edit an exception from the Permission Exceptions menu:

1. Click the pencil icon next to the exception that you want to edit.

2. Use the slider bar to change the permission level for the object.

3. Once done, click the green checkmark icon.

   1. Clicking the green X icon will cancel the change you’ve made.

Delete an Exception

To delete an exception that has been created for the account:

1. Click the checkbox next to the exception that you want to delete.

2. Click the Delete Selected Exceptions button.

3. Click the Delete button to confirm the deletion of the exception.

   1. Deleting an exception will not change the base permission for the User or Group, it will only remove the exception that was placed on the specific Object.
