What result does assigning a user alongside a group membership yield?

When a user is assigned permissions alongside being a member of a group, the user's permissions play a crucial role in determining their access rights. In this context, when user permissions are present, they often take precedence over the permissions assigned to the group, which means that if the user has specific permissions granted, those will prevail even if the group's permissions differ.

This outcome is essential in scenarios where granular access control is required; it allows for tailored access assignments that can cater to individual user needs without being perpetually bound by the broader permissions of the group. This capability ensures flexibility in managing user access rights while still utilizing the group structure for broader permissions management.

In a well-implemented permissions system, the ability for user permissions to override group permissions enables administrators to effectively manage access while also allowing specific exceptions as needed for individual users. Thus, this relationship underscores the importance of understanding how both user and group permissions interact within CyberArk's privileged access security framework.
