If the  Modify All  option is enabled in the Product Roles settings, but  Modify Owned  is disabled, does Modify All override the limitations of Modify Owned?  In our current setup,  Modify All is checked , while  Modify Owned is not  - Id like to confirm if this grants the user full editing access to all artifacts in the product.  Thanks in advance!  </description><language>en-US</language><copyright>(C) Copyright 2006-2026 Inflectra Corporation.</copyright><managingEditor>support@inflectra.com</managingEditor><category domain="http://www.dmoz.org">/Computers/Software/Project_Management/</category><category domain="http://www.dmoz.org">/Computers/Software/Quality_Assurance/</category><generator>KronoDesk</generator><a10:contributor><a10:email>support@inflectra.com</a10:email></a10:contributor><a10:id>http://www.inflectra.com/kronodesk/forums/threads</a10:id><ttl>120</ttl><link>/Support/Forum/spiraplan/issues-questions/3083.aspx</link><item><guid isPermaLink="false">threadId=3083</guid><author>LANCE JEWEL JAVIER (lance.javier@metrobank.com.ph)</author><title>Clarification on "Modify All" vs. "Modify Owned" in Product Role</title><description> Hi,  Id like to clarify how the permissions work in SpiraPlan.
