FAQ: Group Admins

If you are made a Group Admin, you can add or remove users from your group and oversee all newsletters published by group members.

🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Managing Group Members

As an Admin, you’ll see an extra Team tab in the navigation bar, which gives you access to the Group Members tab.

1. On the My Smore page, click Team to view a list of educators in your group.
2. To add users, enter their email addresses in the invite box.
3. If the user is already part of the Team, you can add them to your group by selecting their name from the dropdown list.
4. If you’d like help managing the group, you can promote a member to Group Admin. By clicking on the three-dot menu and selecting Change to group admin.
5. To remove members, click Remove from the three-dot menu next to the member.

Note: A group member can only be given Admin permissions once someone has accepted the invite.

🗂️ Managing Group Folders

Every group created through the Management Dashboard has a group folder, owned by the Smore Team. All group members are assigned as Editors, allowing everyone in the group to edit and collaborate on any newsletter added to the folder.

As a Group Admin, you can access your folder in two ways:

1. Go to the Group Management Dashboard and click Open Folder.

   

2. Go to the Newsletters page and locate it under Shared Folders.

   

💡 Note: 

• Unlike user-created shared folders, these folders display a body icon instead of the owner’s profile picture.
• Newsletters are only added to the group folder when members manually place them there. Until then, newsletters remain private, even if the author is part of the group.
• Other group members will access the newsletter through the shared folder as well.
