Creating User Groups
Account admins can create new user groups. On Enterprise accounts, account admins' right to create new user groups can be revoked.
User groups are customizable groups made up of selected users. You can create user groups consisting of team members from the same department, users with the same role in the company, or any other combination of users that fits your workflow.
User groups provide a quick way of sharing relevant information with several team members and notifying them in tasks, folders, and projects simultaneously.
There are two ways of creating a user group. Once you finish the steps, a new user group is instantly created.
