Organizing users into Groups
You can group organization members into groups that reflect your company or group’s structure with cascading access permissions.
All users can be added to groups regardless of their user role.

About Groups
Admin users can organize users into groups and grant them the Administrator, Writing or Read-only permission on any type of content such as workspaces, surveys, dashboards, reports, viewpoints and scenarios.
Contributors cannot access core Ardoq. Thus, they can only access surveys, presentations and viewpoints. When a Contributor user is part of a group that has been assigned a permission on a type of content a Contributor user is not allowed to access (e.g. a workspace), they won't gain access to that content.
For example, in the image below, Katlin is a Contributor user who has been added to the Contributor group. Assigning the Contributor group any kind of permission on the "Metamodel" workspace won't allow Katlin to access the "Metamodel" workspace because Contributors can't access workspaces. They can only access reports, surveys, presentations, and viewpoints.
Creating a group
Only admin users can create, remove and maintain the groups. You can create independent groups to manage permissions.
In the bottom left corner of Ardoq, hover over your profile and click Preferences > Access Control.
2. Navigate to the "Groups" tab, and click the Create New button in the main window.
3. Under "Name", type the name for your new group and add users.
4. Click Create.
Adding Users to a Group
People with admin rights in the organization can add organization members to groups.
Under the "Groups" menu, click the more options icon, then Add users next to the group you want to edit.
2. Search for a user in the organization, and click on the user to be added to the group.
Rename a Group
Click on the more options icon on the group you wish to rename, then Rename group.
2. Give it a new name, then Save.
Deleting a Group
Only admin users can delete a group. This action is irreversible, so use with caution.
Under the "Groups" menu, click the more options icon, then Delete group next to the group you want to delete.
This will trigger a confirmation box that has to be accepted.
Removing a User From a Group
Admin users can remove team members from a group. This may be necessary if a person no longer needs access to a resource the group grants.
Under the "Groups" menu, click on the Name of the group you want to remove a user from.
2. Find the user in the table, and click the trash can icon on the user.
3. This will trigger a confirmation box that has to be accepted.
