Managing Groups and Users
What is a Group? A Group is a set of users (people or institutions) who are collaborating. Permission to access fields is based on the location that a field is assigned to. All users in a group currently have the same access to edit fields and complete sampling collections.
Create a Group
- Open the left-side menu and select Groups
- Select ADD GROUP
- Enter the group name and select ADD GROUP
Subgroups
A subgroup is basically a group within a group. It can help with organization and allow group admins to restrict access to fields by placing fields in different subgroups. For example, if a project involves two soil sampling companies, a group admin can create a subgroup for each company and assign the appropriate fields to each subgroup.
Members are added to a subgroup in the same way as to a group. Additionally, if you are a member of a parent group you will automatically be a member of any subgroups that are created under that parent group. However, each subgroup can have its own members that are not members of the parent group.
Create a subgroup
- Navigate to the groups landing page
- Select ADD SUBGROUP
- Enter the group name and select ADD GROUP
Add Members to Groups and Subgroups
- Select your group from the “Groups” menu. If adding a member to a subgroup, select the Subgroup from the Group Landing page.
- Select ADD MEMBER
- Enter the users email address and select ADD MEMBER
Note*: To Remove members, select the trash icon next their email in the members list and then select REMOVE* from the pop-up.
