How do I create a User Group

Idea
Why Create User Groups?
Creating a “Group” will allow you to easily organize your Users to share assets or assign system level permissions in Mindmatrix.
Groups will let you share assets with large numbers of Users simultaneously.  

For example, if you create a Marketing User Group and a separate Sales User Group, you can easily share relevant assets to all of your Marketing users by sharing them to the Marketing User Group, instead of each marketing User. This also makes it easier to revoke permissions.

User Groups will make it easier for you to change permission levels in the Software for large numbers of Users.

 If you need to repeal permissions for all of your Marketing Users, the easiest way is to assign them to a User Group where a Role is also assigned. This way, you change permission levels in the software for all of your Marketing Users by just adjusting a single role already associated with that User Group, or reassigning a new Role to the Marketing User Group.

Instructions

To create a new User Group, go to Setup, then User Management and then User Groups.




AlertNote: On the Bridge platform, clients can personalize menu navigation to better suit the specific needs of their Users. Things may be under a different part of your navigation bar depending on your settings and customization. Contact your platform adminsitrator, Support Team or Consultant for further assistance if you can’t find the selection noted.

Click “Create” to start the creation of a new User Group.

 


 

Create a name and description for your User Group. Select, “Show users among one another,” if you’d like others to see who is in their User Group. (It’s best to leave this unchecked so you don’t accidentally share Partner information.) Click on the 'arrow' icon when you are finished.



Choose which users you would like to add to your group by click on the icon by their name.  Click on the 'arrow' icon when you are finished.



Finally, you can pick which role you would like this group to have. To select a role, next to the role. Once you click “Finish", your new group will be added.

“Group Manager(s)” Option in User Groups

A new “Group Manager(s)” functionality has been added to the User Group settings, allowing specific users to manage and view reports for members within their group.

How It Works:

  • In the User Group settings, a new option labeled “Group Manager(s)” is now available.


                                                                                                                                                                                     

  • Clicking this option allows you to select and assign users as Group Managers.

Permissions Granted to Group Managers:
  • Assigned Group Managers can view user reports for all members within the group.   

  • These managers are also visible on the Users page, making it easy to identify which users have group-level reporting privileges.

This feature improves oversight and management capabilities within large user groups by delegating reporting access to designated users.
