Changing a Group's Role
Overview
OverviewIn Flosum Cloud Apps, Groups determine the Role assigned to their users. Altering a Group's Role modifies the permissions granted to all users in that Group. This guide provides a step-by-step process for changing a Group's Role.
When changing a group's role, all users will be removed from the group. To retain users, manually note the members before changing the role, then re-add them afterward. [Future updates will modify this behavior to retain users on role changes.]
Logged-in users affected by group changes need to refresh their browser to apply updated permissions. If issues persist, log out and log back in to Flosum Cloud Apps.
See the following article for an overview of how Roles, Groups, and Users operate in Flosum Cloud Apps.
Change Role
