Multi-generational Access Control permission interactions

When you limit the open or edit rights for multi-generational System Admin and Digital Factory Toolset tabs, there are permission interactions. This table shows how the open and edit rights that you grant/deny for first-level tabs and their second-level children tabs interact to affect what users can see and edit.
