Decide who can create smart groups

It depends on how your General Settings are set up! Since smart groups play a significant role in shaping how a business is run through Connecteam, we provide owners with the choice to determine whether admins should be granted the capability to create smart groups.

To edit these permissions, go to the Settings menu at the top right corner of your screen and click on the Admin Permissions tab. By default, all boxes will be checked.

When the setting 'Admins can create smart groups' is checked, all system admins will have the ability to add and edit smart groups.

If the setting is not checked, admins will no longer be able to add and edit smart groups. They'll see an error message like this:

When entering the feature itself, you have additional permissions that you can set. These can be accessed by clicking on the permission bubbles at the top right. For instance, we can remove or add administrators to hide or show the feature on the sidebar.

When an admin is removed, the Smart Groups feature will no longer show in the sidebar.

In other words, the toggle in the general settings controls who can create smart groups, whereas the permissions within the feature decide who has access to the feature. If you remove access to the feature, you will also be unable to create any groups. Both options exist depending on your use case!
