Managing Group Permissions

Managing group permissions in Process Street allows you to assign entire groups to Workflows and folders, saving time and ensuring consistency.

Instead of managing permissions for individual users, you can set permissions once for a group, and all users in that group will inherit the same access level.

Users: Only Admins can manage group permissions.

Examples & Use Cases

  • Departmental Access: Assign the Sales group to all sales-related workflows with Edit permissions.
  • Project-Based Access: Assign project-specific groups to workflows with Run access for execution-only roles.
  • Compliance Teams: Provide View All access to compliance teams for auditing purposes.

Managing groups in a folder

To add a group to a folder, first click the cog next to your folder’s name in your Library and select “Share“.

Type the name of the group into the “Name or Email Address” field and click their group name when it appears, as shown above.

If you don’t already have groups created, you can learn how to do that.

To change the permission level of the entire group on your folder, use the dropdown next to the group name to select either “Edit“, “View All“, “Run” or “View“.

To remove a group, click the remove user icon at the far right of their entry.

Managing groups in a Workflow

To add a group to a Workflow, click the three dots next to your Workflow’s name in your Library (or in one of your folders) and then click “Share” from the dropdown menu.

In the permissions tab, type the name of your group into the “Name or Email Address” field and click their group name when it appears.

To change the permission level of the entire group, use the dropdown next to their entry to select “Edit“, “View All“, “Run” or “View” as shown above.

To remove a group, click the “Remove user” icon at the far right of their entry.

Permission levels

Changing the user permission level (e.g. “Edit”) of a group will also change the permission of any user in that group in the same way.

For example, if a group is assigned to a Workflow or folder and that group’s permission is changed from “Edit” to “View”, everyone in the group will now have “View” permission in that Workflow or folder.

If you want users to have more control, you will need to change their permission to “Edit”.

Note that folder-level permissions may affect the permissions you already might have set on Workflows.
