Overview

Workspace admins can organize users into groups to make managing access permissions easier across the workspace. With user groups, you can grant or restrict access to content for multiple users at once so that you don’t need to manage permissions individually.

Create a user group

User groups are an easy way for managers and contributors to securely manage access to data across the workspace without having to divide your people into different workspaces. They are created and managed by admins. Most organizations create user groups to reflect teams of people who should have the same level of access to data. Structure user groups by functional teams or any meaningful group of people in your organization so you can set varied and granular permissions for whole teams.

Add or remove users in a group

  • To add or remove users from a user group, open ⚙️ Settings → User groups, navigate to the group and expand it by pressing the arrow to the left of the group name.
  • From there, press Add members to add new users or press X next to an existing member to remove them.
When added to a group, users adopt the group’s permissions, which may change their access level to folders and projects across your workspace.

Delete a user group

  • User groups can be deleted by navigating to the group, clicking ••• and selecting Delete.
If the deleted group had access to restricted work, you may be asked to assign a new owner to take over the group’s permissions.
