Creating User Groups in TopTeam – TechnoSolutions Knowledgebase

Overview

In order to make your Projects more secure, TopTeam provides a useful feature called as User Groups. User Group is a collection of multiple users that shares the same Project permissions in which they are members.

For example, in your organization you have Developers, Managers, Business Analysts, Testers, etc. as different users and you do NOT want them to have similar permissions to your Projects or change important data in your Projects. For Managers, you want them to have full access to your Projects whereas for Developers and Testers you want them to have permissions related to tasks and issues respectively. In that case, you can create different groups for Managers, Developers and Testers, and grant them the same permissions without having to set permissions for each user.

The User Groups feature simplifies this process of managing large number of users.

In this article, you will learn how to create User Groups in TopTeam.
