User groups

You can enable user groups to be created and managed for your project in either the individual Compliance modules or in Completions. The settings are applied throughout the project.

User groups provide access to events and tasks that may be beyond the usual permissions.

You can use a user group to give access to events and tasks to members of that group, even if they would normally not have permission to view events or tasks in selected categories. User groups can also be used in a template’s From Flow option as responsible parties.

After you create a user group, you can assign the user group to individual forms or tasks when you fill them out or when you open an event or task after it has been started.

For example, when a subcontractor is performing work on a project, and another entity is doing quality assurance, the subcontractor will not be part of the project’s NCR process and will not be assigned the category for the form. However, if a piece of the subcontractor’s work was non-conforming, users from the subcontractor can be associated to a specific user group, and the user group associated with the events (NCRs) to address them.

Click Open User Group to open the User groups page tab. In User Groups you can create, edit, copy, deactivate, and delete user groups.

Considerations

  • You must have Level 3 – Account Admin permissions in InEight Platform or a Compliance or Completions role with the applicable permissions.

  • To delete a user group, you must deactivate it first, and then remove all users from the group.

  • Only users with assignments to the project are shown on the list of Available users. For more information, see User assignments.
