Groups

Groups represent offices, committees and teams. They are used as audiences when assets are shared: in Picsha DAM a group is referred to by its name as an @mention, for example @Communications. @all is built in and means every member, so "all" and "everyone" can't be used as group names.

To create a group, click Add New Group, enter a Group Name and optional Description, and click Create Group.

Also matched by: other spellings of the group's name, one per line. They are used when keywords in uploaded files are matched to groups (see Asset Visibility). For example, a group named "Johnson Mike, LA-04" could list "Mike Johnson" so a photographer's keyword in either form names the group.

Requires approval (off by default): when this is on, members of the group see an asset shared with the group only after it has been approved. Members with the Approve permission, and the person who uploaded the asset, see it straight away. Assets that are already approved are not affected. Use the Only groups that require approval toggle on the list to see which groups have this turned on.

The list shows each group's name, description, whether approval is required, how many members it has and when it was created. Deleting a group removes everyone's membership in it. System groups can't be deleted.
