🧼 TL;DR:

Used to assign roles, manage access, and place users into the right Spaces and feeds automatically.


What Is Auto-Grouping?

Auto-grouping lets admins define how users are grouped based on profile fields. These dynamic groupings make it easy to:

  • Assign roles and permissions

  • Control access to Spaces and feeds

  • Auto-place users in the right store chats or team feeds

  • Suggest relevant contacts during onboarding or chat setup


What Fields Can Be Used for Auto-Grouping?

Admins can configure auto-grouping using:

  • Location (e.g. Store 105, Chicago Office)

  • Title (e.g. Store Manager, Sales Associate)

  • Department (e.g. HR, Operations, Finance)

These fields are pulled via HRIS integration or managed manually in user profiles.


Examples of How Auto-Grouping Works

  • A Space is linked to Location: Store 210 → any user with that location is auto-added

  • Users with Title: Store Manager are given publishing access to company feeds

  • Create a group like Managers in the East by combining title + location criteria

  • Users with Department: HR are granted access to HR-only feeds

Uniteam groups users based on profile data—you decide what those groups control.


What Auto-Groups Enable

  • Streamlined role and permission assignment

  • Smart access rules for Spaces and feeds

  • Automatic placement in the right chat groups

  • Cleaner onboarding and fewer manual steps for admins


💡 Pro Tip:

Keep your profile fields clean and consistent. “Store Manager” and “Manager, Store” aren’t the same—standard naming matters.
