Enterprise - started making User groups but they are not showing up. Do I need to re-share the workspace with the user group?


Also, I have some users who are part of several groups, and each group may have different user levels. How do I ensure only certain groups or group members have elevated creator access vs standard editor access?


Where are you looking for the user groups to show up? Are the bases where you want to use the groups part of the Enterprise workspace? Does reloading Airtable / clearing cache help?



I find it easier to have a single permission level per group to limit the number of times I have to do one-off permission setting. I find the in general, people who are members of multiple groups have the highest permission level possible across all groups for a particular base. For example, if someone is part of a creator group and an editor group, the person is a creator.



You also need to make sure that your creators are careful when they share a base with someone. A creator can accidentally upgrade another user to creator levels when sharing.

im trying to @mention the group, or add permissions to fields based on groups, and not seeing them.


The users were already added to base before I setup user groups, and yes the base and workspace are all part of same enterprise workspace.
