Groups
Groups are a way to organise administrators / API keys and assign different permission levels to control what actions they can perform in the system. Properly configured groups help maintain security and workflow efficiency by ensuring administrators / API keys have access only to the features they need.
Understanding default groups
Each account comes with four default groups that you can modify or delete as needed:
| Group name | Permission level | Description |
|---|---|---|
| mambo-administrators | System Administrator | Full access to all system functions including critical settings |
| mambo-managers | Manager | Access to manage most resources but limited system configuration ability |
| mambo-editors | Editor | Can edit content but has restricted access to settings |
| mambo-users | User | Basic access with minimal permissions |
You must maintain at least one group with System Administrator permissions to avoid locking all administrators out of the system. Before deleting any group with administrative privileges, ensure another group has these permissions.
Managing groups
You can create custom groups when you need more granular permission control than the default groups provide. For example, you might create:
- A marketing group with access only to campaigns and analytics
- A support group with user management permissions but no system configuration access
- A content group focused on rewards and missions management
To create or modify groups, navigate to the Groups section in your account settings. From there, you can define new groups and set their specific permissions in the Group Permissions section.
