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.

Table of contents:


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.

  1. In the bottom left corner of Ardoq, click your profile and choose Preferences > Access Control > Groups.

2. Click Create New group in the main window.
