Groups for MSP Admins (Beta)

Share Workshop items with specific subsets of users in your tenants

Updated this week

About Groups

Groups allow MSP Admins to share Workshop items (currently agents) with specific subsets of users within a tenant, rather than sharing with an entire organization. This gives you granular control over who can access specific content.

This article covers:

  • What Groups are and how they work

  • Creating and managing groups for your tenants

  • Publishing agents to specific groups

  • What the end-user experience looks like

  • Current limitations and future functionality


Important: MSP-Only Feature

This feature is currently available only to MSP partners who log in through admin.hatz.ai.

If you are not an MSP Admin, you will not see this functionality in your dashboard at this time. This feature will be expanded in future updates.


Understanding Publishing Options

Before Groups were introduced, you had four publishing options for Workshop items like apps, workflows, and agents:

Publishing Option

Who Can See It

Private

Only yourself

Tenant

Everyone at a specific client company (e.g., Company A)

Community

All Hatz users via the Workshop Discover Community page

The Problem: There was no way to publish to a specific subset of users within a tenant.

For example, if you managed Company A and wanted to share HR-specific agents with only the three people in their HR department, you couldn't prevent the rest of Company A from seeing those items.

The Solution: Groups fill this gap by allowing you to create subsets of users within a tenant and publish content exclusively to those groups.


How Groups Solve Granular Sharing

With Groups, you can:

  1. Create logical subsets of users within a tenant (e.g., "HR Team," "Sales Team," "Finance Department")

  2. Publish Workshop items to specific groups instead of entire organizations

  3. Control visibility so only group members see those items

  4. Manage multiple groups across different tenants

Example Use Case:

Company A has 25 employees. Three of them work in HR and need access to HR-specific agents that process sensitive employee data. With Groups, you can:

  • Create a group called "Company A - HR Team"

  • Add only those three HR employees to the group

  • Publish HR agents to that group

  • The other 22 employees at Company A won't see those agents


How to Create a Group

From the Admin Dashboard:

  1. Navigate to admin.hatz.ai and log in

  2. Select the tenant where you want to create a group

  3. Go to the Groups tab (or section)

  4. Click Create Group

  5. Name your group using a descriptive format

    • Example: "Company A - HR Team" or "ACME Corp - Sales Department"

  6. Select members to add to the group

    • Choose from the users in that specific tenant

    • You can add or remove members at any time

  7. Click Create Group

Your group is now created and visible in the Groups list for that tenant.


Adding Items to Groups

Once a group is created, you can add Workshop items that are already published to the tenant.

To add existing items to a group:

  1. Open the group you created

  2. Click Add Items (or similar option)

  3. Select Workshop items that are already published to that tenant

    • Note: Currently, only agents can be added to groups

    • Apps and workflows will be supported in future updates

  4. Click Save

The selected items are now visible only to members of that group.


Publishing to Groups

When creating or editing a Workshop item (like an agent), you can publish directly to a group.

To publish an agent to a group:

  1. Create or edit your agent in the Workshop

  2. When ready to publish, click Share or Publish

  3. Under publishing options, select Tenant and Group

  4. Choose the specific tenant

  5. Select the group you want to share with (e.g., "Company A - HR Team")

  6. Click Publish

The agent is now accessible only to users in that specific group—not to the entire tenant.


What Users See

From the end-user perspective:

When a user is added to a group, they will see group content in the Workshop.

  1. Navigate to the Workshop

  2. Click Shared Items

  3. The first section displays Your Groups

  4. Click on a group name to see items shared with that group

Users can access multiple groups if they are members of more than one.

Example:

If you created a "Group for Mark" and shared two agents with that group, when Mark opens the Workshop and clicks on Shared Items, he'll see:

  • Your Groups

    • Group for Mark

      • Agent 1

      • Agent 2


Current Limitations

As of now:

  • Groups are only available for MSP Admins via admin.hatz.ai

  • Only agents can be published to groups

    • Apps and workflows will be supported in future updates

  • This feature is in its initial rollout phase

Coming Soon:

  • Expanded functionality for groups

  • Support for apps and workflows

  • Additional management features

Check back for updates or watch for announcements about new group capabilities!
