What is an authorization group?
An authorization group is a set of employees with the same authority within the Factorial platform. In simpler terms, it's a designated group with identical access and permissions.
Factorial provides two authorization groups by default:
- Super admin: individuals in this group have full power over the platform
- Default employees
To meet all the needs a company may have, Factorial also offers the possibility to create custom authorization groups.
For example, you might need to create a dedicated authorization group for Managers, IT team, and Finance team.
Members, access levels, and visibility
Within an authorization group, you can define:
- Members: these are the individuals belonging to the group. You can add or remove members from the permissions groups by clicking on the right arrow, either manually or through dynamic groups.
-
Access levels: enable default access levels or add custom levels to grant a specific set of access and permissions for this authorization group.

Visibility: this represents an additional security setting that you can configure for your authorization group. Choose which employees and their information can be viewed by members of this authorization group.
