- Alternatively, expand a Security Topic (›) to view Permissions.
- Select or deselect individual Permissions for granular control.
- Repeat for additional Topics as required.

Select Remove Selected to confirm.

The user immediately loses all permissions inherited from this Security Group. If the user belongs to other Security Groups, those permissions are not affected.
