There are several inheritance rules you should take into account before setting up the permissions:

• Categories inherit permissions from the component level permissions;

• Contests inherit permissions from the component level permissions;

• Entries inherit permissions from the contest level permissions. This allows you to setup unique permissions for the specific contest.
