Once you've created a group, Quickbase recognizes you as its manager. If you need help managing the group, you can recruit any other user (even one who's not a member of your group) to be a manager too. To do so, grant them management rights by following the instructions below.
Those ready for retirement will be happy to hear that group managers can also replace themselves. For instance, say you're leaving your company. Pass on management of your groups to a colleague by granting them management rights. Later, when appropriate, they can remove you from the group.
The process of assigning a group manager differs depending on whether you're a regular user, or a Billing Account Administrator:
To assign a manager to a group (as a regular user):
-
Click the user menu on the global bar, then click Profile.
-
Within the Groups I'm in box, click the name of the group to which you'd like to assign a manager.
-
Locate the individual that you want to make a manager, then click one of the following options in the dropdown.
-
Select Member/Manager if the person will manage and participate in the group.
-
Select Manager only if the person only needs management rights.
For example, use this option if you want to delegate group maintenance to an administrative assistant who doesn't need to participate in the group itself.

Click Save.
