Assign application roles to a Group

Assign application roles to a Group so that every Group member automatically has those roles across the platform. This is useful when a team of users all need the same access — for example, all pharmacy staff needing the Temperature Monitoring Monitoring User role.

Before you start

  • Required role: User Management Administrator
  • The Group must already exist. See Create a Group.
  • Application roles can only be assigned to Managed groups. SSO group roles are managed in your identity provider.

Steps

  1. From the Kontakt.io Launchpad, open Users.
  2. From the side menu, select Groups.
  3. Select the Group you want to configure.
  4. In the Application Roles section, select Edit.
  5. For each application, select the roles to assign to the Group from the dropdown.
  6. Select Save.

All current and future Group members immediately inherit the assigned roles.

Notes

  • Roles assigned at the Group level apply to every member. Individual members cannot override or remove Group-level roles — they are always active for as long as the user is a Group member.
  • Removing a role from a Group removes it from all members who inherited it from this Group. Members who have that role assigned directly on their user profile are not affected.
  • A user who belongs to multiple Groups inherits the roles from all their Groups combined.
