What Should I Know About Group Managers?
Last updated: November 10, 2026
Adding a Group manager is optional, but is helpful for coaching Sessions and Goal tracking where an employee may not be a manager's direct report, but where the manager still serves a sort of supervisory function.
When assigning Group managers, some key information to keep in mind includes:
Anyone can be added as a Group manager. If they do not already have them, a newly added Group manager will receive system Manager permissions. Removing them as a Group manager will not revoke their system Manager permissions.
There's no limit to how many managers a Group can have.
Adding a user as a Group manager makes them a manager of every member in that Group.
When a manager is also a member of the same Group, their own data (or lack of data) counts toward the Group's dashboard totals.
Managers aren't recorded in a Group's Membership History. Only member changes appear there.
