About Organization User Groups

A User Group is a collection of StratusVue contact and user profiles (Users vs. Contacts) for a Tenant Organization within a StratusVue Platform website. This "container" of profiles is similar to a distribution list when sending an email and is a central location of a specific subset of people profiles within the StratusVue Platform website. User Groups are created and maintained at the Organizational Level by Organization Admins and users with the Site Level Permission to Manage Users.

Who and Where can User Groups be Accessed?

Organizations Admins can access and manage User Groups via Organization Setup on the Navigation Tree

Organization Admins and Organization Users with the Site Level Permission to Manage Users can manage and access User Groups via User Administration on the Navigation Tree

These User Groups are then available at the project level for Project Members to select from using the System Tool: The User Selection Tool
