Overview

User Groups let admins grant the same access to several people in their Zite organization. Add people to a group once, then assign permissions to the group instead of managing each person separately.
A group is a source of access, not another user type. Group members can become workspace editors or internal app members through the permissions assigned to their group. External users are managed separately for each app.
Only admins can create User Groups on the Team and Enterprise plans. Learn more about the Team plan.

How group permissions affect access

Permissions add together. If someone receives access directly and through one or more groups, the highest permission wins. For example, direct Edit access takes priority over Use access from a group.
Use permissions are not implemented on databases. If someone has only Use permission for a database, it will not appear for them.

Control what a group can create

When creation permissions are enabled for your organization, groups can also control who can create new apps, forms, and workspaces. Open a group and switch to the Advanced tab to grant creation access. See creation permissions for the full setup.
