You can now see exactly what permissions a user has—all in one place.

The new Effective Permissions tab, located within each user’s record, gives you a complete view of a user’s access across the system. Because this tab lives in the Person record, only users who have access to the People list can view it.

What You’ll See

The Effective Permissions tab shows all permissions assigned to a user in one organized view. It’s divided into three sections to help you understand where that access comes from:

• Groups & Roles
  View the user’s memberships in Kuali Groups, including any roles that contribute to their access.
• Policy Groups
  See app-level permissions granted through policies. This section shows the specific permissions a user receives from each policy.
• Effective Permissions
  Get a consolidated list of all permissions the user has across the system in one place.

Why it Matters

Instead of tracking down permissions across multiple areas, you can quickly understand both what access a user has and where it comes from. This makes audits, troubleshooting, and access reviews faster and more reliable.

How to access it

1. Go to the People list
2. Select a user
3. Open the Effective Permissions tab

This update gives you a clearer, more complete picture of user access—so you can manage permissions with confidence.
