## Changing permissions for a tool in a course or a project site

Note: To complete the procedures in this document, you must be assigned a role having the necessary permissions. To determine your role, follow the directions in Participant roles. To view a list of permissions associated with a given role, see Permissions, roles, and tools. For a basic understanding of roles and permissions, see Permissions and Roles: Overview.

Permissions are granted for a tool rather than for a particular item created by using a tool. For example, permissions are set for the Announcement tool, rather than for individual announcements.

Note: In Resources you can set permissions for all resources, and you can also set permissions for folders of resources.

To change permissions for a tool, follow the steps below.

1. Open the site by clicking its tab.
2. In the menubar, click the tool for which you want to set permissions.
3. Click the `Permissions` button along the top of the main window.
4. Check or uncheck the boxes to grant the permissions.
5. Click `Save`. To change your selection, click `Cancel`.

Note: You must exit the permissions feature by clicking `Save` or `Cancel` before you can set permissions in another tool.

Each tool has a different set of available permissions. For a general idea of the permissions available, see the list below of permissions for the Schedule tool:

- new: Create a new item
- delete: Delete an item
- import: Import an item
- read: Read an item
- revise: Revise an item
- all.groups: See postings associated with any group
