Admin permissions in Connecteam enable you to manage the access levels and specify which features each admin can contraol on the platform. Connecteam's chat feature serves as a centralized communication hub for engaging with your employees, and customizing admin permissions within the chat ensures that only authorized admins can oversee specific groups. Let's take a closer look at how these permissions can be set up!
💡Tip: If you are new to Connecteam, we recommend you have a look at this article to get a better understanding of what Admin permissions are, before continuing with this step.
Admin Permissions to Manage Groups
The first permission you can grant an admin within the Chat feature is the ability to manage groups.
This permission enables admins to view a comprehensive list of all groups, edit group details, manage assigned users, and adjust group settings—regardless of whether they are members or admins of those specific groups.
To set this permission:
Access the Chat feature from the left sidebar.
Click the three dots next to the blue Add New button and select Manage Groups.
Click the admin icon on the right and select Add Admins.
Select the relevant admin from the list.
How to Set Group Admins
For each group within the Chat feature, you can assign Group Admins. Both regular users and account admins can be designated as Group Admins.
Group Admins can:
Edit group details, such as the name or photo.
Add or remove members.
Manage group settings.
Delete the group.
Note that only users or admins who are members of the group can be assigned as Group Admins. Their management permissions apply only to the groups they are assigned to.
To assign a Group Admin:
Access the Chat feature from the left sidebar.
Open the relevant group.
Click the three dots in the top-right corner and select Chat Info.
Locate the relevant member and select the star icon next to their name.
Once assigned, the Group Admin label will appear next to their name.
