What are Group Roles?
If you have a number of different locations or departments on your account, you may wish to have an employee designated as an Area or Regional manager for some of these locations, but not all of them. By giving them a Group Role, then can view all the individual information for each location, but also see all the information for their locations together combined on the dashboard. This is especially useful for tracking operations in multiple locations.

You can create a Group Role which can be given as much or as little access to all locations combined as with normal Location Roles.

Note: To create a Group Role you need administrator access and first, you need to create a Group

How to create a Group

5. Underneath the name and Locations, there is the option to assign Location Group Roles for this specific Group to individual employees on the system. Click the "+ Grant Access" icon on the right-hand side to do this

6. Type out the employee's name where prompted and selected the Location Group Role previously created from the drop-down menu

7. Once happy click save and the employee named will be assigned this Location Group Role. The selected employee(s) will receive an email notifying them of their Role change, and when they login into Bizimply they will now have the access to the selected locations with the permissions outlined in the Location Group Role
