Groups

  • Updated

A group lets you organize users with similar roles or entitlements that reflect your internal organizational structure or teams. Some organizations create groups that match their Azure AD set-up.

If you have multiple products, you can create a group for each. Another way to structure groups would be roles such as Editors, Approvers, and Publishers.

By default, there are two groups set up for your account:

  • Everyone
  • Administrators

See also Users and Roles.

Add group

Users are automatically added to the Everyone group in your organization, which lets you add a user to one or more groups without having to create the same user multiple times.

  1. Go to User Manager > Groups tab. A list of groups displays the name, number of users in the group, and created and modified dates.

    • Group Name – Enter the name of the group, such as Marketing Group.
    • Users tab – Enter the name of a user you want to add to the group. As you type, user names display. Select the user you want and the user is added to the group list. (Click Delete (icon) to remove the user from the list.)
