Managing Groups
You can create and administer groups for your departments or project teams. Instead of
sharing a folder with your users one at a time, you add them all at once. With groups, you
can create lists of people who require access to the same shared folders based on
department, team, or project, and:
- Share folders with an entire group immediately.
- Onboard users more efficiently: adding a user to an existing group automatically grants access to the group's shared folders.
To create a group
- Click Users & Groups (
) in the left nav bar, raising the Users window.
- Click the add group button (
) at top right.
To add users to a group
- Click Users & Groups (
- Select a group by clicking the expand button (

To remove a user from a group

To restore a user to a group
When a user is removed from a group, their username is not removed from the group.
A RESTORE button appears adjacent to removed user names.
- Click the RESTORE button.
- You are prompted to confirm. Click YES.
- The user is restored to the group.
Deleting a Group in Access Control
You can delete or remove a group only if no folders are shared with that group.
