# How do I set permissions on Scriptation Enterprise?

|| 📝 NOTE: This article applies to [Scriptation Enterprise](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-is-scriptation-enterprise-tdmis7/) — the subscription tier for studios managing devices, permissions, and onboarding at scale. The free and [Industry Pro](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-is-scriptation-industry-pro-1jfjecg/) consumer tiers don't include a web-based Admin Portal.

Scriptation Enterprise lets you set permissions at three levels: across the whole Enterprise, for a single production, or for an individual device. More specific scopes override broader ones — so a Device permission beats a Production permission, which beats the Enterprise default.

|| 📝 NOTE: For the full permissions model — how the three levels stack and override each other — see [Roles and permissions in Scriptation Enterprise](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/roles-and-permissions-in-scriptation-enterprise-1l3j6yv/).

||| ⚠️ HEADS UP: Any permission change forces a restart of Scriptation on every device in scope. Users see a prompt to restart the app — they can't continue working until they do.

| ✅ TIP: Setting a Device permission is technically a one-step "override" — once set, that Device permission takes precedence over the Production and Enterprise levels. To revert and have the device follow Production/Enterprise rules again, see [How do I override device permissions on Scriptation Enterprise?](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-do-i-override-device-permissions-on-scriptation-enterprise-r1ji3g/).
