# How to find out by which permissions a person is authorised

In **Manage permissions** you can see where a person has received which global permissions. To do this, go to the list of users, find the user and expand his or her permissions. Under the permissions you will find a summary of the global permissions already obtained through group or status membership.

Click on the name of the person to open the detailed information for the permissions of this person. All global permissions for this person are listed under *Already received global permissions through a group or status.*
