# Set permissions at once
You can set permissions on all subordinate pages of a page at once.
- In edit mode, click on ▲ next to the Create/Update button.
- Click "Update and Overwrite scopes of all descendants".
TIP
Pages that require authorization settings can be organized into groups, and management can be simplified by setting authorization settings for all of them at once.
Example:
- Create a page with a specific group name.
- Move the pages which you want to set the permission to view/edit only for this group to under the page created in step 1. (Please refer to here for details on moving pages.)
- Set permissions at once on the page created in step 1.
