Session permissions

Allow, prevent or prohibit capabilities in the sessions opened through a delegation.

This guide shows how to set them. What each permission means is in the concept.

For one delegation

Open the delegation and select its Session permissions tab. Find capabilities by name, technical name or component, narrow them with the chips (overridden, each permission, with risks) and save the changes from the bar at the foot of the window.

The Session permissions tab of a delegation, with the four permissions explained and the list of capabilities — Each capability has Not set, Allow, Prevent and Prohibit. The site setting shows next to it.

Copy from another delegation loads the overrides of another delegation to review before saving.

For every delegation of the site

The Session permissions tab of the settings works the same way and sets what applies to every delegation. A delegation set to Not set follows it.

The Session permissions tab of the plugin settings — The same list, for the whole site.

For many delegations at once

Select them in a list and choose Session permissions in the bar: pick the capabilities and the permission each gets (or Remove the override), or copy the overrides of one delegation, adding them to the ones there or replacing them. The selection can be every delegation that matches the list, and the change is written in batches, so it scales to any number of delegations.
