The rule under the employee’s name<\/strong> applies, and their role’s rule of the same type is ignored. The following table shows which rule applies in each case:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Case<\/th>\nApplied rule<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
The employee has a rule under their name and a rule of the same type for their role.<\/td>\nThe employee’s rule.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The employee belongs to more than one role and has a rule under their name.<\/td>\nThe employee’s rule.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The employee has a rule under their name in only one restriction type.<\/td>\nTheir rule in that type, and their role’s rules in the other types.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The rule under the employee’s name was deleted.<\/td>\nTheir role’s rule, if any.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
There is no rule for the employee or their role.<\/td>\nNo advanced restrictions; the system works according to the Permissions<\/strong> section.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Note:<\/strong> You can’t create two rules of the same type for the same users or roles, but you can create a rule for a role and another rule for an employee who belongs to that role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"template":"","categories":[2089,2092],"tags":[27604,27791,27788,27605,27789,23387,27790,27793,27792,27709],"class_list":["post-155729","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","category-workflows","category-workflow-type","tag-advanced-permissions","tag-conflicting-permissions","tag-employee-rule","tag-manage-permissions","tag-role-rule","tag-roles","tag-rule-priority","tag-which-rule-applies-to-the-employee","tag-workflow-rules","tag-workflow-types"],"yoast_head":"\nIf an employee has a rule under their name and a rule for their role, which one applies? - Daftra Knowledge Base<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.daftra.com\/en\/faq\/if-an-employee-has-a-rule-under-their-name-and-a-rule-for-their-role-which-one-applies\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"If an employee has a rule under their name and a rule for their role, which one applies? - Daftra Knowledge Base\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The rule under the employee’s name applies, and their role’s rule of the same type is ignored.
