Group manager


Alongside the general user roles, Pluvo has the group manager. This role is intended for supervisors and team leaders: someone who monitors the progress of a fixed group of employees and steps in where needed, without gaining access to the rest of the academy.


How do you become a group manager?


Group manager isn't a role you set in a user profile — it's a link to a specific group. You always assign someone to a particular group, and one person can be group manager of several groups at once.


To assign someone:


  1. In the admin area, go to users > groups.
  2. Open the group in question.
  3. Open the group managers tab.
  4. Click add group managers, select the user(s) and confirm.


You can read more about setting up groups in Creating groups.


Do you manage a group whose members take part in a learning path or meeting? You'll see a label showing your group manager role on that item, so you can tell at a glance where you have a role.


What can a group manager do?


The principle: a group manager only sees and manages the members of their own group(s). Anything beyond that is not visible.

Can someone be group manager of several groups?
Yes. You link the user to each group separately.


Does a group manager see the full user list?
No. Only the members of their own group(s).


What's the difference from a trainer?
A trainer is linked to a learning path, meeting or webinar and supports everyone within that item. A group manager is linked to a group of people and follows that group across all items. See Roles: who can do what?.
