Working with groups

Administrators and compliance managers can create and manage groups of individual users that have similar responsibilities in Hyperproof. Once a group is created, it can be easily added to any Hyperproof object via the object's facepile.

Use case for groups

Organizations with a large number of objects and/or work items, e.g. controls or risks, may find it easier to manage object membership with groups. By using groups, administrators and compliance managers can easily add a large set of users to an object or work item in a quick, repeatable manner. Rather than individually add team members to objects and/or work items, administrators and compliance managers can add the team members to groups and then assign those groups to the object and/or work item.

The groups feature is especially helpful when new members join your team. Instead of searching for each object and/or work item and adding each member individually, they can be added to the group which automatically assigns them to the object and/or work item. An example might look like creating a group called 'Legal team' and then adding that group to all relevant objects and/or work items. When a new member is added to the 'Legal team' group, they will automatically have access to all relevant objects and/or work items.
