Add Subgroups to a Group

Purpose

Add subgroups to a group to model nested organizational structures and to grant access consistently through hierarchy.

When a subgroup is added to a parent group, members of the subgroup are treated as members of the parent group as well.

Note: This action may require administrator privileges.

Prerequisites

• You are signed in as an administrator.
• You can open Admin-tools > Groups.
• The group already exists.

Add Subgroups

1. Open Admin-tools > Groups.
2. Open the target group.
3. Open the Subgroups tab.
4. Click Add (plus icon).
5. In the group picker, select one or more subgroups.
6. Save your selection.

The example below shows a parent group with two subgroups. Users in those subgroups are treated as part of the parent group wherever the parent group is assigned.

Expected Result

• The selected subgroups appear in the group’s Subgroups list.
• Users in those subgroups receive access via the parent group.
