    Article summary

    Groups in SysAid can be of three types:

    • Administrator groups, that contain only administrators
    • End user groups, that contain only end users
    • General groups, that contain both

    There is no limit to the number of groups a user can belong to.

    Groups in SysAid have multiple uses:

    • Service records, projects, and CIs can be assigned to groups
    • Administrators can be restricted to views service records, tasks, projects, etc. that are assigned to one of their groups
    • SysAid Calendar events can be displayed only to a particular group
    • News items can be restricted only to a particular group
    • And more...
