The Permission Management settings in kintone Administration let you configure system-wide permissions for kintone. These permissions include the permission to create apps, system administrative permission, and more. You can consider how you want to assign permissions based on your number of kintone users, how they will use kintone, and the specific tasks they handle, then flexibly configure permissions accordingly.
To configure the settings, you need system administrative permission. It can also be granted to users on this screen.

This article describes the permissions you can configure in the Permission Management settings in kintone Administration and the steps to configure them.

If you specify a department in the User, department, or group column and then select the Apply to affiliated departments check box in the Permissions inheritance column, the same permission setting is applied to users who belong to sub-departments of the specified department.

For example, if you specify "Sales Department" in the User, department, or group column and then select the Apply to affiliated departments check box, the same permission set is applied to "Sales Team 1" and "Sales Team 2," both of which are sub-departments of the Sales Department.

If you select the Allow checkbox in the System administration column for a user, they will be given access to kintone Administration.
Note that cybozu.cn Administrators are granted all permissions and thus they can access kintone Administration even if their Allow check box in the System administration column is not selected.
