Admin groups

The Admin groups screen on the Admin Panel allows admins to create admin groups within which all users can be granted specific administration permissions.

In Admin groups, admins can assign several users to a group and then grant the group with administration permissions and accessibility, such as access to certain screens on the Admin dashboard and reporting abilities. For example, users in an IT group may require access to the Manage users screen.
