Why you should use groups

Groups are designed to make it easy to manage recipients of shared items. The benefits of using groups include:

• Shares sent to groups are automatically updated as the membership changes. If shares are sent to individuals, each must be manually edited as the recipient list changes.
   
• It is quicker to manually choose groups as recipients then add each recipient individually.
   
•  If you need to review a share and who has permission to share, you do not need to scroll through long lists of recipients.
   

The Everyone group

All teams have an Everyone group that is automatically created for your team. The Everyone group contains all team members from your account.  The membership of the Everyone group is maintained automatically by Password Boss.

Use meaningful names for groups

• Use names for your groups that describe the group so that other team members can identify the group. Group names that identify the group, project, or department make it easy for other team members to know what the group is for.  Examples: Marketing, Finance, Project Alpha.
   
• Consider adding the permissions to the name of the group. 
   
• Depending on your team structure, it may be useful to create groups that will be used to assign read-only permission and other groups with editor permissions. Examples: Marketing-Read Only, Marketing-Editor, Sales-Read Only, Sales-Editor, Admin-Read Only, Admin-Editor.
   

Avoid duplicating groups

Keep your list of groups concise and avoid making groups that duplicate the membership in an existing group.
