Managing portfolio and space access for individual users is not efficient at scale. For this reason, Assembla allows Managers the ability to create groups of users with similar characteristics ("User Groups"), and then apply customized permissions at the user group level.
Note: Only Managers can create, edit, or delete user groups. Owners can add users either as a group or individual.
To create a user group
From the main menu, click All Users > Users Groups.
Click Create Group. A window appears allowing you to select the users you want in the group.
Check the boxes for the users you want to add to the group, and then name the group in the Save as field. Assembla displays a warning if the typed name already exists.
Click Save.
To add users to a user group
From the main menu, click All Users > Users Groups.
Find the appropriate user group to which you want to add members, and then click Edit.
In the available search field, type the name or Assembla username of the user you want to include in the group. Note that as you type, Assembla suggests user accounts matching what you typed so far.
Once the user account appears in the list, check the box next to that account.
Repeat the search process for each user you want to add.
Click Save to add the selected user(s) to the group.
To add a group to a space
Go to Project Spaces, and then select the space to which you want to add a user group.
On the left, click Space Team.
In the Add team members area, type the name of the group in the available field, and then click Search.
Click Add next to the group name.
Select the role permissions you want this group to have based on user roles. Options include Owner, Member, and Watcher.
When you are done selecting the user groups and setting preferences, click INVITE.
To remove users from a user group
Go to All Users > Users Groups.
On the row of the user group from which you want to remove members, click Edit.
In the list of users that appears, scroll down to the name of the user(s) you want to remove from the group.
Clear the checkbox on the row of the user you want to remove, and then click Save.
Note: When you remove a user from a group, it also removes that user from all of the spaces where this group is assigned.Click OK in the confirmation window to completely remove the user from that group.
To delete a user group
Go to All Users > Users Groups.
Find the appropriate user group.
On the row of the user group that you want to permanently delete, click Delete.
Click OK in the confirmation window to completely delete this group.
