Manage Command Groups

Use groups to control user’s access to sites and subsites

Organization Admins can create groups to easily manage large numbers of users who should receive the same permissions on Command. You can create a group and grant it permissions that will apply to all group members. When you delete a group, the users no longer have access to the sites and subsites from that group.
