To manage permissions for Account Macro

  1. Click the New Tab icon Space Add New Tab Icon. Under the Platform Modules, click All Settings within Listen.

  2. In the Platform Settings window, in the right pane either select Workspace Roles or Global Roles within Manage Workspace and Manage Customer in the left pane, respectively.

      Permissioning User Groups can be a great way to assign multiple users on your team to a role quickly. When a user gets added (or removed) to a group, that user will automatically have all the permissions assigned to the group.
