Why Can't I Edit a Group's Members or Managers?
Last updated: November 10, 2026
Groups that are updated and maintain by HR or CRM integration are partly locked in Ambition, which means that admins are not able to manually modify those Groups's memberships. However, certain elements can still be edited in locked Groups, which are discussed below.
Required permissions:
The Groups: Edit permission is required to modify a Group.
How to Tell If a Group Is Synced
When you open a synced Group, a message at the top of the page will say which parts are locked, for example: "This group is automated by an integration. Its members, managers, and name cannot be altered." The Add Member or Add Manager button will also be grayed out.
What You Can Still Do
Change the Group's image, anthem, and GIF on the Group Settings tab.
Edit any part the message doesn't list. For example, if only members are synced, you can still add and remove managers.
To change locked members, managers, or the Group's name, update them in the system the integration syncs from. A synced Group can't be deleted while it still has members or managers.
