Group Admins and System Admins have the ability to organize contacts into groups. For instance, a Group Admin can create a specific group for all employees in the marketing team. Once the group is created, anyone on the plan can share and send information to that group.
Create a group
- In Admin Center, select the Menu icon at the upper left corner.
- Go to Group Management.
- On the top right, select Create Group.
Enter the group details in the Create Group pane.
To add group members in bulk, copy and paste up to 1,000 email addresses from an Excel or CSV file into the Add Members tab.
- Select Create.
The group appears on your contact list, and you'll automatically be a member. Learn more about working with Smartsheet contacts.
Manage an existing group
- Any System Admin or the group's owner can make changes to an existing group.
- Group admins can only add or remove users from the groups they own.
- You must be the group's owner or System Admin to add or remove users.
- You must be a System Admin or the group's owner to transfer group ownership.
System Admins on Enterprise plans can restrict group membership to only those in your organization's plan.
To make changes to an existing group, select the group row or select
on the right side of the row.Brandfolder Image
