# Setting Permissions

v2021.1

You can set permissions at various points in your customer business hierarchy.

### Setting for specific Customer's Case or Ticket process

To set permissions for a specific customer's Case or Ticket process, go to the Service Matrix, select the Permissions link and add one or more User Groups in.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: any Permissions set at higher level will show read-only when accessing settings for any item in the Service Matrix.
{% endhint %}

### Setting Permissions at Customer / Contract / Service Level

Setting User groups with permissions at the other levels in the business hierarchy can easily be done by navigating to the Edit screen at the relevant level.

Once that has been set, only Agents within this User Group has access to work items (creation, editing etc.) within that part of the hierarchy. For example, if you link up at the customer level, that User group has access to all work items under that customer. Conversely if you set down at the case process level, that User group has access to work items within that case process specifically within that customer/contract/service combination.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.enate.net/whats-new/older-versions/changes-overview-older-versions/2021.1-changes-overview/builder/user-groups-and-permissions/setting-permissions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
