Overview

User groups in Wrike are customizable groups of users that simplify information sharing. Instead of sharing updates with one person at a time, you can @mention user groups quickly and share tasks, folders, and projects with them.

More information:

  • Efficient Sharing: Share tasks, folders, and projects with user groups to ensure everyone in the group has access.

  • Subgroup Inclusion: When you share a task, folder, or project with a user group, it is automatically shared with any subgroups within that user group.

  • Limitations on Unsharing:

    • You can't unshare a task, folder, or project from a subgroup within the parent user group.

    • You can't unshare from individual members within the user group.

    • You can't unshare subtasks, subfolders, or subprojects without also unsharing the parent task, folder, or project.

  • Automatic Updates: Tasks, folders, or projects shared with a user group are automatically shared with any users added to the group later

  • Tip

    Selective Sharing: By default, sharing is inherited from the top down. With inherited sharing, you can't unshare a subtask, subfolder, or subproject from users if they have access to the parent task, folder, or project.Turning on selective sharing for a folder or project lets you edit who can access that folder or project, regardless of who has access to the parent folder or project.

FAQ

Can one user be in several user groups?

Yes. You can add one user to as many user groups as you need. Additionally, note that all regular users in your account are automatically added to the My Team user group by default. Account owners and admins on Enterprise Standard and Pinnacle accounts can change which user types are included into My Team user group, learn more about it here.

Is there a limit to the number of user groups in an account?

Yes. The maximum number of user groups you can create depends on your subscription. You can have one more user group than you have purchased seats. There's a maximum number of 5000 user groups no matter how many users you have.
