Administrator Training

Step 10: Creating User Groups and Setting Permissions

Once your files are uploaded, you must create groups and set specific permissions so users can securely enter the workspace to review documents.

Once your files are uploaded, you can create non-admin groups and set folder access permissions so each group only sees the documents relevant to them. This video shows how to build a new group and configure its access within the data room.

  • Creating a New Group: Review an existing group's folder access, then build a new non-admin group with custom permissions — folders start with no access, marked by a red strikethrough icon. (0:04-0:50)
  • Assigning Folder-Level Permissions: Grant access at the parent folder level, optionally including subfolders. A green checkmark with a circle means full access, a green checkmark alone means partial access, and a red strikethrough means no access. (0:50-1:54)
  • Managing Groups: Rename a group via the pencil icon or delete it via the trash icon. Additional per-group and per-member settings are covered in a later lesson. (1:54-2:12)
