Changes to Employee Groups, now called “User Groups”

With update 2023.3, there are now two types of user groups, Supervisor and User.

  • User Group: Admins have the option to create a custom ruleset for a group to automatically place users in a user group. Users can be automatically added to the group if they are in a specific facility, have a specific job title, etc.
  • Supervisor Group: Create a supervisor group to grant users with the supervisor role access to reports submitted at specific facilities. A ruleset cannot be created for a supervisor group.

Both group types can be assigned credentials/trainings.
