In Condo Control, groups serve as a valuable tool to organize the types of users that have access to the Condo Control Platform. Groups not only categorize users but also contain group permissions that define the features users can access, the actions they can perform, and the communications they receive. Users can be enrolled in multiple user groups, and their permissions are based on the highest-level access of their enrolled user groups.
To Add a New Group:
1. Log into Condo Control and click on Setup from the Welcome menu.
2. Click on Groups in the left-side menu.
3. Click the New button.
4. Determine group details:
In this section, you can customize the group information, including:
- Group Name
- Description
- Group Colour (to help distinguish a group within the "Unit File")
- Group Type (Staff or Residents) This setting determines available permissions and online courses
NOTES:
- If group type is set to Residents, then a new option is visible called "Allow residents to opt-in" When enabled, resident groups can subscribe to the group from the "My account" module.
- Name or Description for default groups cannot be modified. However, default groups have a Display Name which can be modified and is what end users see
5. Customize group permissions:
The Permissions section is comprised of multiple sub headers. Select the sub header to a see a drop down with the specific permissions for each feature. Check off which features you would like enabled for the new user group.
6. Once you have checked off all the appropriate permissions, select Save.
You have now successfully created a new group with tailored permissions and settings to enhance organization and access preferences within your workspace.
