# Gladstone 360 Permission Reference Overview

HTML version: [Gladstone 360 Permission Reference Overview](https://support.gladstonesoftware.cloud/gladstone360/gladstone-360-permission-reference-contacts-pos-and-check-in)

## Problem
You need to understand how 360 permissions are configured in the GMC and find which permission lets a user do something, or why a user can't see part of 360, and where each area is covered.

## Resolution

Individual 360 permissions are set in `GMC > Security Configuration > Permissions`, grouped by the heading they appear under. Each article below covers one area.

1. **[Assigning and Creating Security Roles in the GMC](assigning-and-creating-security-roles-in-the-gmc.md)**
   - When you need to know what Allow, Deny, Current Site and Site Group mean, how multiple roles combine, or how to assign and edit roles.

2. **[Gladstone 360 Contacts Permissions](gladstone-360-contacts-permissions.md)**
   - When a user can't view or edit part of a contact record, such as memberships, links or scheduled actions.

3. **[Gladstone 360 Check-in and Member Record Permissions](gladstone-360-check-in-and-member-record-permissions.md)**
   - When a Check-in user can't book, record attendance, manage correspondence or documents, or search.

4. **[Gladstone 360 POS Till Permissions](gladstone-360-pos-till-permissions.md)**
   - When a POS user can't open the till, take payment, refund, discount, run readings or configure tills.

5. **[Gladstone 360 Access, Operator and System Role Permissions](gladstone-360-access-operator-and-system-role-permissions.md)**
   - When you set Access roles, Security Admin, or Operator roles for Centre Management and Block Bookings.

## Notes

- The Contacts, POS and Check-in lists come from Gladstone's 2017 permission guides. Newer builds may have added, renamed or removed permissions; for example, Operator, Access and block-booking permissions are not in either list. Check the live Permissions screen when a name doesn't match.
- Give each user one role per application; with more than one, the role with the least access is used. After changing permissions, users must log out and back in for them to take effect.
- The recommended Standard/Supervisor/Admin settings are in [Recommended Gladstone 360 Roles and Permission Levels](recommended-gladstone-360-roles-and-permission-levels.md).
