Enterprise Workgroups - Overview

Enterprise workgroups are groupings of related enterprise users, created and managed by the enterprise administrator. Enterprise workgroups can simplify management of users by allowing project managers to easily add groups of users to their workspace.

For example, if an enterprise workgroup called Marketing includes all the marketing-related users, a marketing manager setting up a workspace could quickly add workspace members by adding the Marketing workgroup.

For additional information on enterprise workgroups, see Creating Enterprise Workgroups in the Admin Help section of this help. Note: The Administrative Zone is only accessible by users with administrative permissions (an enterprise-level role of Administrator).

Adding Enterprise Workgroups to Workspaces

When a project manager adds an enterprise workgroup to a workspace, the manager can choose to either:

Add the workgroup members as individuals. If the workgroup members are added as individuals, no logical link is retained between the individuals in the workspace and the workgroup.

or
Add the workgroup to the workspace. If the workgroup itself is added, a logical connection to the enterprise workgroup is retained and any changes to the workgroup are reflected in the workspace.

In the second case, if the administrator adds or removes a user from an enterprise workgroup, the user is also automatically added to or removed from any workspace using the workgroup. For more information, see Adding Enterprise Workgroups to a Workspace.

Note: A second type of workgroup, the workspace workgroup, is created and managed by the project manager. For details about this type of workgroup, see Workspace Workgroups Overview.
