Users permissions across multiple user groups

Users have permissions based on the user groups to which they are assigned. If a user is removed from a user group, the permissions related to that group are removed but the permissions for all other groups the user is assigned to remain in place.

If the user exists in Safeguard, the selected permissions are added to the existing user permissions.
