📌 Note: Multiple permission sets are available as add-ons. For more information on adding new features please see the add-ons page in your nation.

Once a person becomes a control panel user (CPU), they can send communications, access your people database, and become a point person to supporters. As an admin, you have the ability to create permission sets so that you can pick and choose what exactly each CPU can do/access in your nation. 

At Settings > Nation defaults > Permission sets, you can edit or create permission sets

Each section of the control panel will be listed with a checkbox (which defaults to checked) next to each, so you have the ability to uncheck any sections to customize what users with this permission set can access.

People: Assigned
