Documents, controls and risks get their owners from People, and checklists go to groups and roles. **Quick summary** * You can create a group under **People** → **Roles & Groups** to hand the same work, like a checklist, to several people at once. * Assuric won't delete a group that still has members or assigned checklists. * You pick a document's *Owner*, a hazard log control's *Responsibilities* and a risk's *Owners* from **People**, rather than typing a name. ## Groups versus roles A document's *Owner*, a hazard log control's *Responsibilities* and a risk's *Owners* are all picked from People, not typed in. | | Groups | Roles | | - | - | - | | Answers | Who gets this checklist? | Who is accountable for this? | | Typical member | Everyone who joined this year | One named Clinical Safety Officer | | Defined by | You | Assuric's list, plus any you add | A role can receive checklists too. ## Groups you start with Every workspace starts with *Employees* and *Offboard*, which carries the offboarding checklist. A catalogue of ready-made groups sits alongside them. ## Create a group Go to **People** → **Roles & Groups**, which opens on the **Groups** tab, and click **Add Group**. The Groups tab listing groups with their members and checklists, with the Add Group button highlighted Enter a *Group name* and *Description*. *Members* are optional and can be added later. Then click **Add Group** at the bottom of the dialog. The New Group dialog with Group name, Description, an optional Members picker, and the Cancel and Add Group buttons ## Change a group's members Open the group, click **Edit Members**, pick its people and click **Confirm**. **Remove** next to a name takes that person out. ## Edit or delete a group Open the **⋯** menu on the group's row. **Edit group** changes the name and description, and **Delete group** deletes the group. ### You can't delete a group that's in use If the group still has members or assigned checklists, Assuric blocks the deletion: > *This group cannot be deleted while it is still in use* Expand the message to see every member (by name) and every checklist blocking it. Remove the members and unassign the checklists first. **What we recommend** Create your groups before you assign anything, or you'll have to reassign it all, one person at a time. ## Related articles Adding people to your workspace.
