Managing user accounts by groups can make it more efficient to assign permissions, workflow tasks, and review of notebooks. In many organizations, the specific person assigned to complete a task is not known in advance, but work can be picked up by anyone on a given team.

User Groups

To access the group management page, select > Groups. All existing application groups will be shown.

Create Group

To create a new group, type the name of the group and click Create Group.

You'll now see a new tile for your group. Click Save when ready to save your changes.

Add Users to Groups

Expand the group by clicking anywhere in the tile and use the Add member dropdown to add members. You can add individual users, or other groups, to a group. Each time you add a new member, you'll see User Details on the right.

Click Save to update groups and assignments.

Grant Permission Roles to Groups

User groups can be added to permission roles just as users can. Learn more in this topic:

When using the Professional Edition, if you want to be able to assign notebook review to a group, that group must be granted the "Editor" role (or higher).

The "Users" Group

Note that there is always a "Users" group predefined, sometimes used to represent every user with any access to the application, though this is not automatic. Users or groups must be explicitly added to this group. For example, you might add all the groups you define to the "Users" group in order to assign "Reader" permissions and ensure a minimal level of read access to every group member.

You can also choose to delete this group (when it is empty) if you don't want to use it.

Delete Group

To delete a group, you must first delete the members by clicking the X for each, then click Delete Empty Group.
