Groups provides a way to organise users. They can be used for Project teams, can be assigned to all objects except tasks/milestones and allows you to direct notes and send messages to more than one user at a time.
Note
The administering of groups is only available for users with the user management permission.
Users can be organised by department, location, skill set or any other way you see useful. A user is called a member when added to a group.
This can be done globally from System settings ‣ Resources ‣ Users and Groups, and per project from each project’s Team page that you can reach from the project outliner.
Creating a new group or sub group
To create a new group, click Create group in the Groups header to the left. A new group will be instantly created.
Renaming a group
Each new group will have a default name. Click on the group name in the top to rename the group. The name is saved automatically when clicking outside the text field.
