2. Fill in:

<p class="callout info">Other types (System, Notification, Admin/Client Template) are system/helper sets. For admin roles, use **Groups**.</p>

#### Configure Permissions

After saving, you’re on the **Edit Group** page. Toggle capabilities the group should have, e.g.:

- **System Permission** — system-level operations.
- **Admin Modules Permission** — access to admin modules/features.
- **Admin Notifications** — receive back-office alerts.
- **Client Notifications** — receive client-side alerts (usually off for admins unless needed).
- **Admin Template Permission** / **Client Template Permission** — manage templates.

Add a **Description**, then **Save**.

Edit Group with toggles (On/Off).

#### Assign the Group to Administrators

**Path:** **Settings → Staff → Admins → Edit** an admin → **Groups** field → add your group → **Save**.  
(Use least-privilege: only the access they need.)

- - - - - -

#### Edit / Delete a Group

- From the **Groups** list, click **✏️ Edit** to change toggles or rename/describe.
- Click **🗑️ Delete** to remove a group (only if no critical users rely on it).

#### Tips &amp; Good Practice

- Start with broad roles (*Support*, *Finance*, *Ops*), then refine toggles.
- Keep **Super Admin** for a few trusted people only.
- Review memberships monthly; remove access for ex-staff immediately.
- Test new roles with a non-super-admin account before rollout.
