How to Create & Manage Administrator Groups

Use this to build role-based access for your staff. I’ll also show where to place each screenshot.


1) Open Groups

Path: Settings → Staff → Groups
Here you can see all groups plus Edit ✏️ / Delete 🗑️.

Groups list (with action buttons).

2) Create a Group (for Admins)

  1. Click + Create (top-right).

  2. Fill in:

    • Name — e.g., Support, Finance, Ops

    • Type — choose Groups (this is the correct type for administrator roles)

  3. Save.

“Create Group” modal (Type dropdown visible).

Other types (System, Notification, Admin/Client Template) are system/helper sets. For admin roles, use Groups.


3) 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).

4) 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.)


5) 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 & 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.
