Custom access for one person with user permission overrides

It is a set of custom permissions given to one staff member on top of their role's defaults. In CIPHER CRM each staffer inherits their role's grid, and an override lets you grant that one person something different while the role stays exactly the same for everyone else.

No. The role is left untouched. Only the person you set custom permissions for is affected, so every other staff member who holds the same role keeps the access they had before, with no surprise gains or losses anywhere on the team.

Use an override when one person's job differs a little from their teammates, such as a sales rep who also handles refunds. Create or change a role when a whole group of people need the same access, so the role keeps describing a real job.

Every profile card in the staff directory shows the person's role, and each staff profile has a Role tab. You can also filter the directory by role to see everyone who holds it, which helps you judge whether a need belongs to one person or to the whole role.

Admins already have full access to the workspace, so there is nothing extra to grant them. Overrides are for Staff, whose access normally comes from their assigned Role, when one of them needs something their role does not give them on its own.

Yes. Role defaults with per-staff overrides are part of CIPHER CRM for every workspace. Every feature is in every plan, so you can handle exceptions properly from day one without paying for an advanced tier or asking anyone to switch it on.
