Creating Groups for data sharing

Groups are used if an administrator/ publisher wishes to quickly assign the same privileges on data access and publication to multiple people at the same time. To note, a user's organisational privileges do not change so for example if:

• they are not a member of your organisation they will still not be able to see any other datasets outside of those linked with this group

• a uSmart organisational user is a viewer, their privilege will only update for the datasets which are linked with this group

Open

Step 1 - Setting up the Group

Navigate to the Management Page and then select the Groups drop down. Here you can add people to an existing group or create a new group.

Create a new group by giving it a name, user role and by selecting the dataset you wish to share with that group. On the next page add an email address for the first group member.

Step 2 - Augmenting Groups

Once created you can add to the groups by:

• Adding more uSmart registered email addresses for each user who you want to join the group.

• Adding more datasets that the group is able to access. A guide on how to do that is found Sharing Reporting Function with non-admin users.
