Preferences

Preferences enable you to:

  • configure minimum Permission Groups required to perform a specific action (see Permissions and Relationships page for more information), and,
  • configure other feature thresholds and behaviors

Preference Relationship Priority

Like other records in the DrawBridge, Preferences have tenancy associations: they can be associated to either a Company or an Accountability policy. This has specific implications:

Priority Relationship Override lower priority configuration
1 Accountability Policy Yes
2 Company Owner (NA)

To clarify: if there is no Accountability Policy associated with a Company, the notes about Accountability Policy override do not apply.
