# Overview of rights and rights groups

A right is the permission to perform a specific activity. A rights group is a collection of rights.

The InForm application comes with a predefined set of rights and rights groups covering the activities that are typically restricted to specific roles in a study. When a new user is created in the InForm application, an administrator with the right to modify user information assigns the user to a rights group, providing the user permissions to perform specific study activities.

A user can be a member of only one rights group.

Note: You cannot make changes to the rights group in which you are a member.
