User Groups

Organize and manage permissions for your team by creating User Groups.

Creating User Groups for your team will allow you to assign specific permissions for specific groups of people in your team, allowing you to assign permisssions "in bulk".

You can create and manage your User Groups in your Localize dashboard on the Team page under Manage Organization. User Groups are created at the Organization level, just like Team members.

Permissions

Each User Group will have it own unique set of permissions, providing the appropriate access to the features required for that group.

📘

Permissions are Additive

Note that any permissions granted to an individual team member in the group are granted in addition to the permissions set up in the User Group, and vice versa.

This also applies if the user is in multiple User Groups - the permissions are additive.

This allows you to have incredible flexibility in assigning permissions across your team.

To set up the permissions for a new group or to alter permissions for an existing group:

  1. Click the Manage Group button.
  2. Click the Permissions tab.
  3. Select the appropriate permissions for the Group (see details below).
