Set up and manage user groups (SAP 5.1)

Create and manage user groups to organise your team, assign training requirements, tasks, and resources, share documents, and control form access.

For: Admins

User groups let you organise your team into collections — by role, site, or task — and then use those groups to assign training requirements, tasks, and resources to everyone in the group at once, upload documents once for the whole group, and control which forms different people can see.

Common examples include Drivers, Site Supervisors, Maintenance Team, New Employee, and Onboarding. One person can be in multiple user groups.


Creating a user group

You can create user groups from the Admin Console (computer login).

  1. Go to Teams & Users

  2. Click the User groups tab

  3. Click Add user group

  4. Enter a Name for the group

  5. Enter a Description (optional)

  6. Click Save

Tip: To create several groups at once, click the dropdown arrow next to Add user group and select Bulk upload user groups to upload a CSV.

​


Adding people to a user group

There are three ways to add people to a user group.

From the user group (add multiple people at once)

  1. Go to Teams & Users

  2. Click the User groups tab

  3. Click the user group's name

  4. Click Add people

  5. Search for and select the person or people to add

  6. Click Save

From a user's profile (add one person)

  1. Go to Teams & Users

  2. Click the relevant user

  3. Click the three dot menu in the top right, and select Edit Details

  4. Find the User groups drop-down

  5. Select one or more user groups

  6. Click Save

By job role (add everyone with that role automatically)

  1. Go to Teams & Users

  2. Click the User groups tab

  3. Click the three dot menu next to the group and select Edit job roles

  4. Search for and select the job role(s) to add

  5. Click Save

Note: Everyone who holds that job role is added to the group automatically, on top of anyone added individually. If a user isn't assigned to any user group, they'll see all forms that haven't been allocated to a specific user group.


Viewing a user group's profile

Every user group has its own profile page, where you can see everyone in the group, the training requirements assigned to it, and any documents specific to it.

  1. Go to Teams & Users

  2. Click the User groups tab

  3. Click the group's name

The profile page has three tabs:

  • People — everyone in the group, along with their access level, job role, Work ready score, and any expiring requirements. Select Download members as CSV to export the list, or use the three dot menu next to a person to view, edit, or remove them.

  • Requirements — the training requirements assigned specifically to this group, along with their reporting category and number of assignees.

  • Certs & Docs — certificates and documents that apply to the whole group, so you don't need to upload the same file to every person individually.

To upload a document to a user group:

  1. Open the user group's profile

  2. Click the Certs & Docs tab

  3. Click Upload file, or drag and drop the file into the panel

  4. Select the file(s) to upload


Managing a user group

Editing a user group's name or description

  1. Go to Teams & Users

  2. Click the User groups tab

  3. Click the three dot menu next to the group and select Edit details

  4. Update the Name or Description

  5. Click Save

Removing a person from a user group

  1. Open the user group's profile

  2. On the People tab, click the three dot menu next to the person

  3. Select Delete

Deleting a user group

  1. Go to Teams & Users

  2. Click the User groups tab

  3. Click the three dot menu next to the group and select Delete

Important: Deleting a user group cannot be undone.


Controlling form access with a user group

Restrict a form to specific user groups so team members only see the forms that are relevant to them.

  1. Go to Forms

  2. Click the form in the list

  3. Open the Form Settings panel

  4. Scroll down to User groups that need to complete this form

  5. Select the user group(s) that should have access

  6. Click Save


​

Note: A user group can be applied to both scheduled and ad hoc forms.
