Which mechanism overrides group access settings in CLM?

• A. Group access overrides explicit.
• B. Final access is the most restrictive between the two.
• C. Explicit access overrides group access setting.
• D. Access is determined by random draw.

Answer: (C)

Explicit user permissions override group permissions in CLM, so explicit access takes precedence over group access. This setup lets you keep broad access through groups while carving out individual exceptions on specific items. For example, someone might belong to a group with edit rights, but you can grant only read or even restrict certain actions for that person on a particular contract by setting explicit access. That explicit setting will override what their group allows, giving precise per-user control without altering group membership.
