User Groups
Managing User Groups in TEQ
User Groups provide a flexible way to manage access by combining multiple User Roles into a single group. This is ideal when employees need access to several areas of TEQ without creating new or duplicate roles.
For example:
- A Sales + Planning user group gives an employee access to both Sales and Planning features using existing roles.
This approach saves time, keeps permissions consistent, and simplifies access management.
Step 1: Access User Groups
- Go to Settings โ Admin โ User Groups.
- From here, you can view, edit, or create user groups.
Step 2: Create a New User Group
- Click โ New Group.
- Fill in the group details:
- ๐ท๏ธ Group name
- ๐ Description (optional, but recommended)
- ๐ค User Roles โ Select all roles this group should include
- Save the group.
๐ก Tip: Think of User Groups as role โbundles.โ Combine roles logically based on employee responsibilities rather than creating new roles.
Step 3: Assign User Groups to Employees
- Go to Settings โ HR โ Employees.
- Find the employee and click the Details icon.
- On the employee card, click Edit Access (top right).
- Select the appropriate User Group.
- Save your changes.
The employee will now inherit all permissions from the roles included in the group.
๐ Troubleshooting
