Manage user groups (Custom roles option)

Create and duplicate a group, manage its members, review and remove shared access, delete it.

There are two versions of the Groups screen. If your groups appear as cards rather than as a table, you are using the previous version: follow "Create a user group" instead.

A group lets you gather members of your organization to share folders and contract types with them all at once. Groups are managed from the Groups tab of your organization settings.

The list of groups is visible to all members with the Groups permission, by default Admins and Super admins.


Understand the Groups page

The Groups tab lists all the groups of your organization, with for each one:

  • Members: the number of members in the group

  • Contract access, Folder access and Contract type access: the number of contracts, folders and contract types shared with this group


Create a group

To create a group:

  • Open your organization settings, then go to the Groups

  • Click Create a group

  • Give the group a name and add members


You can also start from an existing group: from the row's action menu, click Duplicate.
​


Manage a group's members

From a group's page, the Members tab lets you add or remove members.

  • To add a member: search for them and select them

  • To remove one or more members: select them, then click Remove from group

You can only manage the members of groups you created or belong to yourself, including if you are an Administrator. The Super admin can manage all groups without restriction.


View and remove shared accesses

The Access tab of a group's page lists the folders and contract types shared with this group.
​


To remove an access:

  • Check the box of the relevant folders or contract types

  • Click Remove access

An Export button lets you download the list of accesses shared with the group.
​


Delete a group

Deletion is done from the group's page, not from the row's menu. Open the group, then click Delete group at the bottom of the page, and confirm by typing its name. As with member management, only the group's creator, its members, or a Super admin can delete it.
​


Frequently asked questions

Can an Admin manage all the groups in the organization?

No. An Admin can see all groups, but can only add or remove members from groups they created or belong to. This restriction protects sensitive groups, such as a group reserved for an executive committee.


Who can see the list of all groups?

Any member with the Groups permission sees the complete list, whatever their role. But seeing a group in the list does not grant the right to manage it: as explained above, only its creator, its members, or a Super admin can add members to it or delete it.


Can I remove an access directly from the group's page?

Yes, the Access tab lets you select one or more folders or contract types and remove their sharing in a single action.
