Create New Group

Create a new group and add users to that group.

In the SoftwareOne Marketplace, account administrators can create new groups and add members to those groups.

When creating groups, administrators choose the modules to enable for group members. Additionally, administrators can also restrict group members to certain buyers. It means you can define whether your group members should see all buyers in your account or specific buyers only.
