This article is part of Task Management and covers creating permission groups. 


Task Management permissions groups can be created from the Task Management Settings, which can be accessed from the Guides page. Permission groups can be created to assign specific users and/or user roles a set of Task Management permissions. The permissions assigned on the permission group then reflect those on the user's permissions or the user roles security and permissions. 


Only Task Management admins can create and assign permission groups.

Open the dropdown or click and type to search through the list of user roles and users to select.
Select the user roles and/or users to add to the permission group. As they are selected, they will be added to the user role/user field.

A group icon beside a user role or user indicates that the user role/user has already been assigned to a permission group. The user role beside the icon indicates the user role that added the user to a group.
Once all users and user roles are added, click Create Group. 
The permission group will then be listed on the Permissions tab.
