When you create a status modification group, it inherits modification rules from the default status modification group.
You can then define the group by configuring its modification rules. Additionally, modification groups can inherit status modification rules from other status modification groups. For example, you can create a status modification group that allows field sales representatives to create orders. If you create a group for managers that inherits status modifications rules from the Field Sales Representative Group, the managers can also create orders. Later, if you want to prevent field sales representatives and managers from creating orders, you only need to disallow the create order status for the Field Sales Representative Group. The Manager Group inherits the updated status modification.
When one group inherits rules from another group, the modification rules defined in the child modification group override the parent's modification rules. For example, the Field Sales Representative Group can create orders but cannot change the price on a quote. If you want the Manager Group to have the ability to create orders and change the price on quotes, configure the Manager Group to inherit status modification rules from the Field Sales Representative group, and then configure the Manager Group to have the ability to change the price on a quote.
Additionally, the Is Override option can be enabled for child groups. For example, a manager belongs to the following status modification groups:
Because the Is Override option is enabled for Manager Group 2, the manager has the ability to create orders.
