Groups
Scope member access to specific products.
What this means
Groups give you finer access control inside an organization.
A group connects members to products. Members in the group inherit access to the products assigned to that group. Admins and owners can still access every product regardless of group membership.
When to use it
Use groups when:
- Not every developer should run pipelines on every product.
- You want a backend team, frontend team, mobile team, or customer-specific team to see only relevant products.
- You need to give temporary or scoped access.
- You want product access to be easier to review.
If your organization is small and every member can work on every product, you may not need groups yet.
Before you start
You need owner or admin access to create and manage groups.
Create products and invite members before you build group memberships. A group can be created empty, but it is only useful after members and products are added.
Group fields
| Field | What it means |
|---|---|
| Name | Short label for the group, such as Backend team or Mobile devs. |
| Description | Optional explanation of who the group is for. |
| Members | Organization members included in the group. |
| Products | Products available to the group. |
Steps: create a group
- Open Settings -> Groups.
- Select New group.
- Enter a name.
- Add an optional description.
- Create the group.
- Open the group detail page.
- Add members.
- Add products.
Managing a group
On the group detail page you can:
- Edit the group name and description.
- Add existing organization members.
- Remove members from the group.
- Add products.
- Remove products from the group.
To add someone who is not listed, invite them from the Members page first.
What happens next
Members in the group can work with the products assigned to that group according to their role. Removing a member or product from a group changes access immediately.
Deleting a group removes the group and its membership rows. Existing pipelines stay in history.
Problems and fixes
| Problem | What to check |
|---|---|
| Add member list is empty | Everyone may already be in the group, or the person may not be an organization member yet. |
| Add product list is empty | Every product may already be in the group, or no products exist yet. |
| A developer cannot access a product | Confirm the product is assigned to one of their groups. |
| An admin still sees every product | This is expected. Admins and owners are not limited by group product mapping. |
| A group was deleted by mistake | Recreate it and re-add members and products. Existing pipeline history is not deleted. |
