Understanding Groups in Uniteam

Groups help admins manage users at scale. Use them to assign roles, set permissions, and control access across key parts of the platform.

🧼 TL;DR:

  • Groups are for user management, not communication

  • Assign roles, set permissions, or restrict access by group

  • Useful for managing permissions across Home, Feed, Connect, Settings, and more


What Are Groups?

Groups are admin-created collections of users used to manage access and control what users can see or do within Uniteam.

They are not chats or feeds—they’re strictly for operational control. Use Groups to:

  • Assign roles and permissions

  • Control access to Spaces, Feeds, or pages like Home and Settings

  • Streamline onboarding and user management at scale


Common Use Cases for Groups

  • Create a group for Regional Managers to give them publishing access in company feeds

  • Assign a group of Content Editors to manage and update Home Page modules

  • Add all New Hires to a group with limited access until onboarding is complete

  • Use HQ Admins to grant full access to Settings, Feed creation, and platform controls


How to Create a Group

  1. Go to the Settings

  2. Go to the User Management section

  3. Click on Groups

  4. Select Create New Group

  5. Name the group (e.g. “Regional Managers”)

  6. Add users manually or by filters (role, title, location, etc.)

  7. Assign roles tied to that group (e.g. “Admin”)


How Groups Work with Roles and Access

Once created, a group can be used to:

  • Assign platform roles (e.g. Moderator, Editor, Admin)

  • Control visibility and access to:

    • Home page modules

    • Spaces (Connect tab)

    • Feeds/Communities

    • Settings

  • Automate user permissions during onboarding or role changes


💡 Pro Tip:

Groups are your shortcut to smart scaling. Set them up by role or region so you don’t have to manage permissions one person at a time.
