App Preferences are where you can manage individual engineer's permissions on the app. To do this, navigate to Settings > Preferences > App Settings. This will display a list of your company's engineers. Here you can either manage preferences globally across all engineers, or set specific preferences per engineer.
Note: Any changes made to the app preferences will take up to 24 hours to affect engineers.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Global Preferences
Global Preferences are applied to all engineers that do not have their own preferences. To manage these, select Global Preference in the top right of the page.

Select Edit to make changes to the preferences. You can then either select Update to apply those changes to engineers that do not have preferences, or select Update All to apply the changes to all engineers.
Alternatively, if you do not want to make any changes to the current set up but want to apply those preferences to all engineers select Apply All in the view interface of the page.

Individual Engineer Preferences
You can create preferences specific to engineers. To do this, select Create on an engineer that does not have existing preferences.

Once done, (or if the engineer preferences already exist) select the engineer's name to edit their preferences.
Whilst viewing the engineer's preferences, select Edit to make any changes and Update to save.
If you would like to revert the engineer's preferences back to the Global Preferences, select Delete. This will remove any preferences tuned specifically to the engineer back to the default.
