There may be times when a user needs customized permissions that differ from the assigned profile. Updates to permissions for the user's assigned profile will still flow down to the user, but will not override permissions set on the User Permissions screen. Focus does not encourage setting individual user permissions due to the maintenance involved.
The system preference "Enable overriding permissions for individual users (not recommended)" in Setup > System Preferences > Default School Preferences > General must be enabled for the permissions set on the User Permissions screen to override the permissions set for the user's profile.
