# Batch grant access

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Windows" %}
The ***Batch grant access*** feature allows you to assign permissions and permission sets to multiple users, user groups, and/or application users at once on entries, folders, and vaults.

### Location

***Batch grant access*** can be found in the properties of entries, folders, and vaults under ***Security*** – ***Permissions*** (or ***Security*** – ***Inherited permissions*** for the vault root). Set the permissions to ***Custom***, then click ***Grant permission***.

2. Under ***Default permissions***, select ***Custom*** in the ***Permissions*** drop-down menu.

### Permission settings

Use the ***Batch grant access*** window to apply access changes to multiple users or user groups at once. Start by selecting a permission type, an action, and whether the access changes will be granted by ***Permission*** or ***Permission set***. If you select ***Permission***, choose the permissions to apply, then click ***OK***.

{% hint style="info" %}
Permission sets are created and configured in ***Administration***–***System settings***–***Vault management***–***Permission sets***. For more information, see [Permission sets](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/commands/administration/system-settings/vault-management/permission-sets/).

#### Users

Users can be selected one by one by checking the box next to each one, but this method can be tedious if you have a lot of users. Tools are available to help you in your selection process:

* ***Filter***: Filters your users, user groups, and application users by ***Name*** or ***Description***.
* ***Type***: Displays only users, user groups, or application users.
* ***Selected***: Displays only selected or unselected users, user groups, and application users.
