How to add new Role Groups

This how-to article describes how to add new Role Groups with permissions that can be assigned to users in the User Admin menu.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Navigate to Farm Manager → User Admin.
  2. On the left, click the Role Groups tab to see the list of Role Groups.
  3. Click Add New Role Group.
  4. Enter a Name for the Role Group. This can be a job title such as "Orchard Manager" or "Harvest Supervisor".
  5. Optionally enter a brief Description of who this Role Group should be assigned to.
  6. Select one or more Roles that describe the permissions you would like to give to users with this Role Group. See User Roles for more information.
  7. Click Save to create this Role Group. It should now appear in the list of Role Groups.
  8. You can now assign this role group to users at different locations. See How to assign permissions to users (Advanced Permissions) for more information, or Creating Advanced Permissions to learn how to create advanced permissions for employees using Role Groups.


When updating an existing Role Group that has been assigned to a user already, changes to that user's permissions are applied the next time they log in.
