This article explains where to find permissions in the updated roles and permissions experience.
The new layout groups permissions by topic. For example, all Attendance permissions for people data and configurations are now in one group called Attendance. This makes it easier to manage access in one place. When setting up or managing permissions, use the tables below to see where each permission is now compared to where it was before.
