Create Global Permission Types for Branches
This really handy feature allows you to create completely customised permission types and distribute them across multiple branches; where they can be assigned to individual resources as needed.
Good to know:
You can assign each permission type a colour and an icon, to make them easily identifiable. Plus, you can go back and edit them anytime: any changes made take effect immediately.
You can also manage permission types if you don't have a Branch Manager. See how to manage Permission Types for your resources.

5. Once you have finished defining your permissions, select the branches you want to allocate this permission type to, and hit save:
6. In the setting preview, the new permission type appears. You can click on the dropdowns to review the permissions, and click the edit icon to make any changes.
2. How to Assign a Permission Type on a Branch Level
As soon as you create a new permission type, it can be assigned to resources at your local branches. Simply log in to a branch that you made the permission type available for, navigate to Management > Resources and select a resource. From the edit form, you can select the permission type from the Resource Permissions dropdown:
