How to Create Groups
✅ Step 1: Add a new group
Go to Organization Settings > Groups.
On the Groups page, click Create group. While there, it is possible to filter by admins to view the groups managed by any particular admin.
✅ Step 2: Define group settings
Clients will have the option to choose how to set up the group's settings: either configure it manually or replicate settings from another existing group.
Clients can also choose to replicate an existing group setting directly from the Groups page in their Organization settings. Click the ellipsis (three dots) next to the group intended for settings replication and select Replicate settings.
✅ Step 3: Add admins
Check the box next to the admins to be added to the group.
Search for an admin by entering a name or email address.
If an admin needs to be invited, click Invite Admin and add their information.
Invitations will be sent out once clients have completed the group creation process. Users will then receive a confirmation email to accept.
✅ Step 4: Select the role for each admin
Click Assign Role to assign the worker one of the seven roles that we offer for group admins:
