View
When you enter “Roles for Group Admins”, you will see a list of created roles, along with the number of people assigned to each role.
Click on the name of the role you wish to view, and you will be taken to the overview page for the selected group role. Here, you will see a summary of the actions the group administrator is allowed to perform in a Spond group.
We recommend that you assign these permissions only as needed.
Edit
When you enter “Roles for Group Admins”, you can click on the three-dot button on the far right of the same line as the group’s role name and select “Edit”.
If you are already on the group role overview page, you can click the three-dot button in the top right corner and select “Edit”.
On the edit group role page, you can change the name of the group role and modify the actions a group administrator is allowed to perform in a Spond group.
