Permission groups

Permission groups, accessible under Settings → People → Permission groups, are reusable bundles of permissions that you assign to employees. When you edit a permission group, the changes are applied to every assigned employee instantly, removing the need to update individual employee permissions one by one.

Permissions that are not part of any group can still be granted as per-employee overrides. However, adding permissions to a group helps maintain clearer access control and simplifies auditing.

Example use cases

• Streamline onboarding by assigning a standard set of permissions to new employees based on their role (e.g., "Accountant", "Project Manager").
• Ensure consistent access control across teams by creating groups for departments like "Marketing Team" or "HR Department", granting them the necessary permissions for their functions.
• Quickly modify or revoke access for multiple employees simultaneously by editing a permission group, which instantly updates permissions for all assigned members.
• Manage temporary access for contractors or consultants by creating a specific group that can be easily updated or removed once their work is complete.
