### List of `restricted-admin` Permissions
The `restricted-admin` permissions are as follows:
- Has full admin access to all downstream clusters managed by Rancher.
- Has very limited access to the local Kubernetes cluster. Can access Rancher custom resource definitions, but has no access to any Kubernetes native types.
- Can add other users and assign them to clusters outside of the local cluster.
- Can create other restricted admins.
- Cannot grant any permissions in the local cluster they don't currently have. (This is how Kubernetes normally operates)
### Changing Global Administrators to Restricted Admins
If Rancher already has a global administrator, they should change all global administrators over to the new `restricted-admin` role.
This can be done through **Security > Users** and moving any Administrator role over to Restricted Administrator.
Signed-in users can change themselves over to the `restricted-admin` if they wish, but they should only do that as the last step, otherwise they won't have the permissions to do so.
# Global Permission Assignment
Global permissions for local users are assigned differently than users who log in to Rancher using external authentication.
