In the Advanced Security Settings Wizard, first select the user and then click on the Edit button to make the permission changes, you can also add or delete a user from this wizard. This can be done by clicking on the Add or Remove Button.

On clicking the Edit button a new page will be opened, here you can select the various types of permission levels that you want to grant to this user.

After making all these changes click on the Apply and then the "Ok" button.
