The Manage Groups and Distribution features allow System Administrators to quickly create and manage groups while maintaining consistent permissions and settings across the organization.
Note: These features are available only to System Administrators.
Note: A group license is not automatically added to the newly created group. Please create the group license for each group according to your preferences and policies
Accessing the Manage Groups Function
- Go to System Admin.
- Navigate to Groups.
- Click Manage Groups.
You will now see an overview of all existing groups in the system.
Creating a New Group
You can create a new group in two ways:
1. Create Group from Scratch
- Specify the group name and assign a group owner.
- Optionally, you may add yourself as a group member.
- Configure custom permissions and settings as needed.
2. Create Group from Source (Duplicate Existing Group)
- Duplicate an existing group to ensure a consistent setup across multiple groups.
- This option copies:
- Roles
- Permissions
- Group settings
- Group policies
- Optionally, sample types can also be included in the duplication.
Using a source group as a template helps streamline setup and reduce configuration errors.
