When you add a member to a group, you grant that user all the permissions you've assigned to the group. (Permissions are granted through roles.)
Groups are intended for subsets of user bases. Adding a large number of members to one group may degrade performance and cause the group to fail to load.
Note: Each member that you add to a group must be a registered Quickbase user. If you're a Billing Account Administrator who wants to add unregistered users to groups, read about provisioning.
The process of adding members to a group differs depending upon whether or not you're a Billing Account Administrator:
To add a member to a group (as a Group Manager):
-
Select 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 add members.
-
In the upper left of the page, click Add Users to this Group.
Note: You can also add all the members of an existing Group to the Group you just opened. To do so, click Add a Group to this Group and select the group. -
In the boxes provided, enter the email addresses or user names of the Quickbase users that you want to add to this group, and then click Save.
To add a member to a group (as a Billing Account Administrator):
-
Click the Groups tab.
-
In the Group Name column, click the link for the group to which you want to add members.
Note: You can only modify groups that you manage unless you are the account admin. -
In the left side of the page, click Add Users to Groups.
-
In the text boxes provided, enter the user name or email address for each member that you want to add, select a group from the dropdown.
-
To add multiple users, Select Add Multiple Users at the bottom of the page and use the User Picker to enter multiple email addresses.
-
Click Save.
