How Do I Add a Group Manager?

Last updated: November 10, 2026

Adding someone as a Group manager makes them the manager of every member in that Group. Managers can be added from the Group Type's list of Groups or from the Group's own page.

Required permissions:

  • The Groups: Edit: Can Edit All Groups permission is required to add a manager to any Group.

  • The Groups: Can Edit Subordinate Groups permission is required to assign managers for Groups you manage.

  • The Users: Assign Managers permission is required to add a user who isn't already a manager in Ambition. Adding them will give them system Manager permissions.

Add Managers from the List of Groups

  1. Go to Admin --> People --> Groups.

  2. Select the Group Type.

  3. In the Managers column, click on the number of managers, or on + Manager if the Group has none.

  4. Select the users to add from the drop-down menu.

  5. Click on Add Managers, or Save Changes if the Group already had managers.

Add Managers from the Group's Page

  1. Click on the Group's name to open it.

  2. On the Managers tab, click on Add Manager.

  3. Select the users from the drop-down menu.

  4. Click on Add Managers.

Note:

  • Without the Users: Assign Managers permission, you'll only see users who are already managers in Ambition.
