App Admin Group
Introduction
Feature(s)
The App Admin Group feature allows you to assign permissions to members to manage different forms and dashboards within an app, and further refine permission at the form level. In the enterprise organization, it can meet the enterprise's multi-level permission needs, improve the permission management mechanism, enhance operational efficiency, and reduce management costs.
App Scenario(s)
In the case of employee management, after setting super admins and regular admins according to the company structure, in-app admins are also needed to manage forms, dashboards, and so on within an app.
In the case of franchisee management, franchisees can complete all businesses within the one app, which facilitates data confidentiality and clear division of management scope between different businesses.
When an app contains all the business of a branch and different business forms need to be handled by different departments of the subsidiary, the form/dashboard permissions can be set through App Admin Group to ensure clear rights and responsibilities.
Preview
After you assign to Erica certain permissions to manage the Grade Analysis form, Erica can only view, edit, or perform other operations on the form.
