Assign a Customer to a Workgroup

Use the Security Group Manager Members tab to add Customers to a Workgroup so that Customers can share CSM Items and, if configured, record ownership rights.

Note: By default, Customers can share record ownership with their Customer and Manager; however, our Out-of-the-Box (OOTB) system in not configured to share with Workgroup members.

To add a Customer to a Security Group:

  1. Open the Team and Workgroup Manager (CSM Administrator>Security>Edit Teams and Workgroups).
  2. Select the Customer Workgroup radio button.

    The Manager lists the existing Workgroups.

  3. Click the Customer Workgroup to which you want to assign a Customer (ex: Accounting)
  4. Click the Members tab.
  5. Click the Add button.

    The Contact Manager opens.

  6. Click a Customer to add to the Workgroup, and then click OK.
  7. To designate one of the members as a Workgroup manager, select a Customer (member), and then select the Customer Workgroup Manager check box. You can designate more than one manager, if needed.
    Note: If configured, record ownership rights (View, Add, Edit, Delete rights) can be extended to managers, departments, and Teams/Workgroups, so carefully consider the implications of these relationships.
  8. Select OK.

    The Customer is added to the Workgroup.

  9. Click SaveSave Button.
