To set permissions for a group role:

Navigate to the group.
Mouse over Management (pencil icon upper left corner).
Click Manage group. The Manage Group tab is displayed.
Click Permissions.
Select a Role to adjust permissions.

NOTE: Joinless Groups will only have the Group Owner Role

Click a role to modify, such as Members. The role permissions categories and check boxes appear. Scroll down to group permissions, or you can search for a permission in the search box as well:

Access Control Panel - Role can access the group Control Panel.
Create New Blogs - Role can create new blogs.
Create New Calendar - Role can create calendars.
Create New Forums - Role can create new forums.
Create New Groups - Role can create new groups.
Create New Media Galleries - Role can create new media galleries.
Create New Wikis - Role can create new wikis.
Delete Blogs - Role can delete blogs.
Delete Calendar - Role can delete calendars.
Delete Forums - Role can delete forums.
Delete Groups - Role can delete groups.
Delete Media Galleries - Role can delete media galleries.

Click Save to apply the settings.

The community platform will automatically take a census of the permissions that have been set and then collapse them to a singular set of effective permissions. The community knows that the user is part of one or more Site Roles with unique modified permissions. Once the user joins or is added to a group, the community also knows that the user is now a group member with a Group Role. Neither of these sets of permissions takes precedence over the other and they are instead added together to obtain the user’s Effective Permissions.

The below table will help illuminate this behavior:

	Create Forum Threads	Create Forum Replies	Create Blog Posts	Create Wiki Articles
Site Role	Checked	Unchecked	Checked	Unchecked
Group Role	Unchecked	Checked	Checked	Unchecked
Effective Permission	Granted	Granted	Granted	Not Granted

Important Note: When permissions are set at the Application level these will take precedence over Site Role and Group Role permissions.
