Have you ever wondered about the best way to organize your users into groups and teams, or which permissions to assign? If so, join us on February 23 at 8:00 am PT / 4:00pm UK for the webinar System Admin Essentials: Understanding User Management. RSVP here.

She'll be joined by Heather Kulbacki, Marketing Systems Specialist (and Workfront Guru!) at Thermo Fisher Scientific, who will share how they've chosen to organize their users and the lessons they've experienced along the way. This is a LIVE session and you'll be able to chat with other attendees and ask your questions directly to the presenters. Hope to see you there!

One of the questions from last week's webinar was: You mentioned a limit of 100 in object sharing. If you are using groups or teams in sharing does that help get around that limitation or does a group of 100 users count as 100 shared?

Yes, using groups or teams is a great way to get around that limitation. I have one request queue that is shared with a group containing 850+ users, as well as a few other smaller groups.

Another question from last week's webinar: How does "Role" fit in with Groups and Teams? Can you give an example?

Roles work very much the same as Groups and Teams. You can share objects with a role the same as sharing with a group or team.

For our team we want all project managers to have access to all projects in case someone's out and another PM needs to cover for them. So we set up the Project Manager role to have Manage access in the Project Sharing area on all templates. So as long as a template is used to create the project, all PMs should have access to that project.

One of the questions that came up from a number of folks in the webinar was if @Mary Ann Erickson‚ would mind providing instructions for how to create the awesome user view in one of her slides (screenshotted below).

Mary Ann says she typically guides the creation of this report - or others like it - during a small workshop engagement, but due to the many requests during our webinar, she would like to point you to an article from one of our partners, LeapPoint. This article walks you through how to create a similar version of this report – Advanced Report Formatting . . . Really Advanced. Hope this is helpful!
