# Limitations on Permission Presets
You cannot combine preset and custom permissions for the same user.
If a user is using a preset, individual permission toggles become read-only. All permissions are managed through the preset only. Any changes must be made at the preset level.
If a user requires custom permissions, the assigned preset must first be removed. Once removed, the system keeps the permissions that were previously applied, allowing you to customise them individually. However, the user will no longer receive automatic updates when changes are made to the preset.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.bossithq.com/users-and-access/user-permissions/permission-presets/limitations-on-permission-presets.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
