Groups provide a way to better organize your users. They can be used for Project teams or assigned to all objects (except tasks/milestones) and allow you to direct notes and messages to more than one user at a time.
Users can be organized by department, location, skill set, or any other way you see useful. A user is called a member when added to a group.
| Please note: The administering of groups is only available for User Roles that include 'Manage Users' permission. |
There are two ways to add group members:
 |
Globally From System settings > Resources > Users and Groups |
 |
Per project From each project’s Team page (in the Project's left-hand menu) |
