• Permission to perform an action is granted to a specific rank when the bubble to the right of that action is filled below that rank.
• Permission to perform an action is denied to a specific rank when the bubble to the right of that action is emptied below that rank.
• Permissions may be toggled when editing by clicking on the bubbles.
• Permission to perform an action may be granted to a lower rank and denied to a higher one.

In addition to the settings above, those with sufficient permission may modify Base Entry Permissions.

• Coalition Member - Enabling this setting allows any member of any Super Group in your Coalition to enter your base.
• Leader Teammates - Enabling this setting allows any member of a team led by one of your Super Group members to enter your base.

Any character who is not a member of your Super Group that is granted access to your base will have limited use of some of your base's equipment. For example:

Joe Boresight and his team step out of a mission door in Peregrine Island. Joe selects another mission for his team. This new mission is located in the Hollows. Normally, his team mates would have to pass through at least two other zones before reaching the Hollows. However, Joe's Super Group has a Telepad in their base connected to a The Hollows Beacon. Since the leaders of Joe's Super Group have "Enabled" the Leader Teammates Base Entry Permission, the members of Joe's team may enter his Super Group's base through the Base Portal located in Peregrine Island and use the base Telepad to transport themselves immediately to the Hollows.
