# Configuring custom permission sets

{% hint style="info" %}
**Required global permission:** Manage custom permission sets
{% endhint %}

You can create custom global and dataset permission sets.

A custom permission set allows you to have more precise control over global, dataset, and guided redaction permissions.

For example, you might want a dataset permission set that allows a user to manage the files but not share or delete the dataset, or a guided redaction permission set that only allows a user to review redactions.

For global permissions, you might want a global permission set that allows a user to manage access to any dataset, but not manage Textual users.

## **Creating a custom permission set** <a href="#custom-permission-set-create" id="custom-permission-set-create"></a>

To create a custom permission set:

1. On the permission sets list, click the create permission set button.
2. On the permission set details panel, in the **Permission Set Name** field, type the name for the new permission set.\
   \
   Permission set names must be unique for that permission set type (global, dataset).
3. Select the permissions to grant to the permission set.\
   \
   If a permission checkbox is checked, then the permission is granted to the permission set.\
   \
   If a permission checkbox is not checked, then the permission is not granted to the permission set.
4. To save the new permission set, click **Save**.
5. For a global permission set, Textual prompts you to configure access to the new permission set.\
   \
   To display the access management panel for the permission set, click **Manage User Access**.\
   \
   To not manage access at that time, click **Skip**.

## **Editing a custom permission set** <a href="#custom-permission-set-edit" id="custom-permission-set-edit"></a>

You cannot make any changes to a built-in permission set.

For a custom permission set, you can change the permission set name and adjust the assigned permissions.

To edit an existing custom permission set:

1. On the permission sets list, click **Settings**.
2. On the permission set details panel, update the permission set configuration.
3. Click **Save**.

## **Deleting a custom permission set** <a href="#custom-permission-set-delete" id="custom-permission-set-delete"></a>

You can delete a custom permission set. You cannot delete a built-in permission set.

You cannot delete a permission set that is assigned to any users or groups. Before you can delete the permission set, you must remove the assignment.

To delete a custom permission set:

1. On the permission sets list, click **Settings**.
2. On the permission set details panel, click **Delete Permission Set**.
3. On the confirmation panel, click **Confirm**.
