Manage your user groups

Typically a user group is a collection of users with some common characteristics or purpose and can consist of any number of users. You might have a user group for each team and department in your organization, or just people with the same interests.

Who can do this? Platform site Admins.

Types of user groups

Manual: Each user is added and removed from the group manually.
Smart: Users are added to the group automatically based on attributes from their profile fields.
SSO: Users are added to the group automatically based on their SSO Group ID in your organization's active directory.

Note: To use Smart or SSO groups, you’ll need to have SSO enabled and configured on your platform. If you’re not using SSO but would like it set up, please contact our support team at support@wazoku.com.
