Introduction to Permissions
The Permissions page allows administrators to control two specific actions users can take in AcceleratorApp. From this page, you can decide whether users are allowed to delete their own accounts and applications, and whether users can freely add skills to their profile or must choose from a predefined list.
These settings are useful when you want to maintain more control over account management and keep profile data more consistent across your organization.
