Add a group

If you use Piwik PRO with many teammates, you can create groups and manage their permissions in a bundle. In this article, we’ll show you how to use groups and set permissions.

Before you start

Here are some things to know before you begin working with groups:

• You can set permissions for each teammate or for groups.
• When your teammate has individual permissions and group permissions set, the higher one is granted.
• After deleting a group, members will lose assigned permissions. But they still have permissions assigned individually or in another group.

Add a group

To add a group, follow these steps:

1. Go to Menu > Administration.
2. Navigate to Groups.
3. Click Add a group.
4. Name the group.
5. Click Add user to group.
   

   

6. On the email list, mark teammates you want to add to the group.
   

   

7. Click an arrow to add your teammates.
   

   

8. When done, click OK.
9. You’ll see your teammates on the member list.
   

   

10. Navigate to Permissions and grant permissions for a site or app.
    

    

    Note: To grant permissions to meta sites, go to Menu > Administration > Meta sites & apps.

    Here’s a brief overview of all permissions:

    • Manage: The user can view and edit websites, view, edit, and publish tags, import and export audiences, manage permissions, and use Consent Manager. But they can’t add a website or a new user.
    • Edit & publish: The user can do the same actions as on the manage level, except they can’t manage permissions.
    • Edit: The user can view and edit websites, view and edit tags, import and export audiences and change general options. But they can’t publish a tag, manage permissions, and use Consent Manager.
    • View: The user can view websites, tags, and export audiences.
    • No access: The user doesn’t have access to anything.
