Set Up Access Control Groups
This tutorial walks you through creating an access control group, assigning members, and applying the group to a project.
Outcome​
You will have a named group with members and an assigned role, applied to one project, and visible in the project team list.
Before you start​
You need organization admin or project admin access. Have a list of the team members to include and the role they should hold as a group.
Steps​
- Go to Admin → Access control groups.
- Select New group.
- Enter a name that reflects the group's function, for example
Structural Reviewers. - Set the scope. Choose Project if this group applies to one project, or Organization if it should be available across all projects.
- Assign a role that matches what this group of users needs to do.
- Select Add members and search for each team member by name or email. Add all members.
- Save the group.
- If the scope is Project, open the project settings and confirm the group appears in the project team with the correct role.
Verify​
- Open the project Team tab.
- Confirm each member of the group appears with the assigned role.
- Ask one of the group members to confirm they can see the expected documents and actions.
Next steps​
- Add further team members to the group as the project team expands.
- Review and update group membership at project phase changes.
- Create a distribution list if you also need to broadcast mail to this group.
