      1. Security Profiles Inherited by This Security Profile

        Inherited Security profiles will override configuration made on the existing Security Profile being created. For example if a security profile for team leaders does not allow access to any module configuration, then the security profile for team members, which extends the team leaders security profile will also not have access to any module configuration, even if it is defined within that profile that access is allowed.

        Inherited Security Profiles are helpful when the intention is to create a new Security Profile that will have additional Restrictions to ones from an existing Security Profile. Read below to find out how you can quickly create a new Security Profile Inheriting Restrictions from another.
