Creating user groups and assigning permissions

Administrators can add and manage user groups in Airship, Mediafly's content management system. Once groups are created in the system, you can add users and manage group access. 

Keys to success

• Create groups based on the the types of roles and access needed
• Add a user to one or more groups depending on what visibility they need
• Assign content access permissions on the group level for easier user management
• Assign users as a Group Manager so that other users can manage user groups and user creation. Group Managers will only be able to modify and view the groups and users for which they have been assigned Group Manager privileges.
