Irrevocable Permission—A permission that is granted to users because they

belong to a pre-defined group with permissions that cannot be changed. The

server supervisor, account supervisors, CommWorks IP Fax Solutions manager,

pages. Some objects users own are received faxes and their user profile.

Member—Each group of users or objects can have members. Members are

individuals or sub-groups that belong to a group.

they may not be able to use it. Generally, the user or User group must have this

permission before they are granted another permission for the object. For

Attachment permission will never see the attachment to select it; therefore, the

user cannot ‘use’ the attachment.

displayed in the “User Properties” dialog. Properties for these Account #’s are also
