Step 3: Add Security Groups

Security Groups define groups of users with different permission levels in your organization. Creating Security Groups streamlines the process of assigning specific user rights.  

Typically, permission levels are tied to organizational roles. To simplify, instead of assigning permissions to individual users, you can configure Security Groups (e.g., Staffers, Project Managers, Sales, Senior Leadership Team, HR). When adding users, you can simply assign them to the appropriate group.

Once you’ve finished adding security groups, the next step is to add users to your organization. All you need is their first name, last name, email, and permissions. At this stage, you’ll assign users to the security groups you’ve already created.
