- Click the Configure Settings icon.
- Click Permissions Table.
- Under User Permissions for Budget, set the user's access permission level by clicking the icon in the column so a GREEN checkmark appears.
The color-coded icons in the user permissions area denotes the user's access permission level to the tool. To learn more, see What are the default permission levels in Procore?
Icon Color Definition

RED The user has NOT been granted this access permission to the tool. 
GREY The user is either (1) a Procore Administrator or, (2) has been granted access permission to the Procore tools on this project using a permission template (see What is a permission template?). To change the user's access permission level, follow the steps in Manage Permission Templates.
