Changes to who can Maintain Group Membership

Ramsay Zaki

Anyone with the "Edit Group" permissions could add/remove members from any group. But, all of a sudden, now only the Group Owner can do this. Is this a new change in how Group Maintenance works? Does Smartsheet expect that one single person is the only one who can add/edit people? What if that person is out on vacation for a week?

Hi @Ramsay Zaki

A group can be managed by the Group Owner or by any System Admin on the account. (See: Manage an Existing Group)

I would suggest ensuring you have more than one System Admin on your plan so if someone is on vacation there's another user with similar permissions who can update groups in their absence.

Cheers!
