User Groups

User Group

User Groups help you control who can view, edit, or access diagrams, perfect for large organisations. Organisation Admins can create multiple user groups. 

Create a Group and Add Users

Step 1: On the left-side panel, click Settings > Company Settings.

Step 2: Go to User Groups menu.    Step 3: Click + Group. Step 4: In the pop-up, enter a Group Name. Then, click on +Add to add users to the group. 

Step 5: In the Select Users pop-up, select the Users you wish to add to the group. Click Add.

Users are organised by role and can be selected from the dropdowns. You can also search for a user in the top search bar by name.

Step 6: The selected users and their user roles will now appear in the group you have created. Click Save. 

User Role Priority

If you would like a user belonging to a user group to have different access to the group’s default, you can assign them individual permissions within the project. For example, Nicole F. Yutankin has been assigned as a diagram editor within the software, she is a member of the “Test Group,” which only has Viewer access to the Dinosaur Park Project.

To give Nicole her assigned access role instead, go to Add > User, then select Nicole F, adding her to the project as a user out with the group. From here individual access takes priority over group access.

How does it work if a user is in a group and then assigned individually?

The individual access takes priority.

Delete a Group

Step 1: In the User Groups menu, click the Bin icon to delete a group. 

Step 2: A warning message will appear. Click Delete Group.
