Viewing Content Shared with Your Groups

When content is shared with a group you are a member of, you will see it in the "Shared with me" tab. The name of the group will be visible, so you know who the content was shared with.

You can add or remove users from a group at any time from the MSP Admin Dashboard.

I'm assuming you’re referring to the formatting of the document "Managing Group Membership" that you provided. I'll refine the formatting for clarity and consistency while maintaining the content. Since I'm in Ask mode, I’ll present the revised document below. If you’d like me to save it as a file, please switch to Agent mode or let me know.


Managing Group Membership

Groups allow you to organize users and share apps and agents with specific teams or departments. This guide explains who can add users to a group and the conditions that must be met.

Permissions Overview

There are six permissions related to groups, split between the Admin Console (MSP) and the Tenant Platform:

Permission

Scope

What It Allows

Create Groups

Admin & Tenant

Create new sharing groups

Manage Groups

Admin & Tenant

Edit and delete groups, add and remove members

Share with Groups

Admin & Tenant

Share apps and agents with groups

Note: Adding users to a group requires the "Manage Groups" permission. Having only "Create Groups" permission is not sufficient to add members after the group is created.

Roles That Can Add Users by Default

The following roles have the Manage Groups permission by default and can add users to any group they have access to:

Admin (MSP) Roles:

  • Primary Admin

  • Admin

  • Helpdesk

Tenant Platform Roles:

  • Client Admin

Roles That Need Additional Permissions

The following roles do not have group management permissions by default. An administrator must explicitly grant them the "Manage Groups" permission (via role configuration or a custom role) before they can add users to groups:

Admin Console (MSP) Roles:

  • Billing Manager

  • Client Manager

Tenant Platform Roles:

  • General User

  • App Builder

  • Chat Only User

Group Owner Privileges

Every group has a designated owner (set when the group is created). The group owner can always add and remove members from their group, regardless of whether they have the "Manage Groups" permission.

This means:

  • A General User who owns a group can manage that group's members, even though they don't have "Manage Groups" by default.

  • However, the owner can only manage membership for groups they own—not other groups. To manage members across all groups, the "Manage Groups" permission is still required.

Requirements for the User Being Added

Not just anyone can be added to a group. The person being added must have an existing role in the same organization (entity) as the group.

This means:

  • You cannot add a user from Tenant A into a group that belongs to Tenant B.

  • The user must already be a member of the organization—they need to be invited and assigned a role first before they can be added to any groups within that organization.

  • The UI only shows eligible users when selecting group members, so you will only see users who meet this requirement.

Summary
