# How to set permissions? (Forms)

Permission settings is an important topic because not only does it ensure data security but it also **defines a clear process** for your project team, which a **critical success factor** in rolling out any systems and SnagR is no exception. When everyone knows **who need to do what at when**, people adopt to new systems easier.

**User accounts**

For user accounts, go to Users > Edit Permissions.

At **Edit User Inspections**, the permission sets are as follow:

**No Access**

**Read Only**

**Can Edit** (Note: to edit means the user cannot add inspections. They can only edit on existing inspections.)

**Can Add**

**Can Close** (Note: to close means it does not allow users to edit on the inspection anymore.)

**Can Reopen** (Note: to reopen means it allows others to edit on the inspection form again.)

**Can Delete** (Note: to be able to delete the inspection, the user also needs to be an administrator in [issue permission sets](/it/impostazione-progetti/utenti-e-permessi-amministrazione-progetto/how-to-set-up-form-permissions).)

Please update permissions at both **Edit User Inspections** and **Edit User forms**. This is because inspection is a template that consists of one or multiple forms.

For batch update, use update all function at the top.
