Manage groups

Groups allow you to categorize users by function or role-based access needs, such as teachers, students, or staff. Managing groups streamlines user organization and permission assignments. You must be an admin with the Super Admin or Group Admin role to manage groups.

Find and organize groups

From the Groups page, you can quickly locate specific groups and customize the view:

• To find a group, use the search bar at the top to search by group name or address.
• To customize the columns shown, click the gear icon to show or hide columns in the group list.
• To sort or filter groups, click column headers to sort by that value or use the filter icon to filter results.

Group types

There are three kinds of groups in Samsung Account for Education:

Create a group

Creating a group lets you categorize users by function or role-based access needs, such as teachers, students, or staff.

To create a group:

1. Navigate to Groups.
2. Click Create group.
3. Enter group details:
   • Group name — Enter the name for the group.
   • Group address — Enter a unique identifier for the group (must be different from group name).
   • (Optional) Description — Enter a description for the group.
4. (Super Admin only) Select either Standard or Role as the group type.
5. Select a domain from the dropdown.
6. Click Create.

The Manage members of group page opens. Proceed to add members, or click Done to skip for now.

Add members to a group

Adding members to groups enables efficient management of users with similar functions or access needs.

You can add group members from the Manage members of group page, which is accessible during group creation, or from Groups > ⋮ for the intended group > Manage group members.

On the Manage members of group page:

1. Under Select user or group to be added choose Groups or Users to search for.
2. Start typing the intended group/user name or account ID.
3. Select the matching group/user and click Add.
   • If you select a group, all users in that group are added to the current group.
   • You can only add groups of the same type (Standard or Role).
4. Click Done to open the latest group list.

Add members to the Teacher Group

If you add a user or group to the predefined Teacher Group, then that user or group is recognized as a teacher in Knox Classroom — allowing them to sign into the Knox Classroom portal.

You can add users or groups to the Teacher Group as you would for any other group in the Samsung Knox for Education portal.

Remove members from a group

You can remove members from a group when their role changes or they no longer need group-specific access. To remove group members:

1. In the Manage group members dialog, click the remove icon (remove) next to the member.
2. Confirm by clicking Remove.
3. Click Done to save your changes.

Edit group details

You can edit an existing group’s details from the Edit group details panel to keep group information accurate and descriptive.

1. Navigate to Groups.
2. Select a group to open the details panel.
3. Click ⋮ for the intended group.
4. Select Edit group details.
5. Modify the group name or description as required.
6. Click Save to persist your changes.

Delete a group

You can delete a group when it’s no longer needed for your educational organization’s organization. Deleting a group automatically removes group membership, but does not delete the user accounts of group members.

To delete a group:

1. Navigate to Groups.
2. Select a group to open the details panel.
3. Click ⋮ for the intended group.
4. Select Delete group.
5. Confirm by clicking Delete.
