FAQ: Group Admins

If you have been made a group Admin you have the ability to add and remove users from a specific group, and can oversee all the newsletters they publish.

You will have an extra tab on the navigation bar called Team which gives you access to the Group's Member Tab.

Adding and Removing Members to and from your Group


On the My Smore Page click on Team and you will be brought to a list of educators in your group.


You can add users by inputting their email addresses into the invite box. If they are already in the Team, and you are just adding them to the Group they will appear in the drop down list.



If you would like help managing the group, you can change a group member to a group admin.



To make them an Admin click on the 3 black dots next to their name and click 'Change to group admin'.


Note: A group member can only be given Admin permissions once someone has accepted the invite.


To remove members click Remove.


Group Folders


Every group made via the Management Dashboard has a group folder which you will see is owned by 'Smore Team'. All group members are Editors in this group which allows all users in the group to edit and collaborate on any newsletter added to the folder.


To access your folder as a group admin, you can either:


  1. Head to the Group Management Dashboard and click 'Open folder'.

  1. Head to the Newsletters page and find it under Shared Folders.

Unlike shared folders created by users, they have a body symbol rather than the owners profile picture.



Note: Newsletters only get added to the group folder if members individually add newsletters to the folder. Newsletters remain private until added to a folder even if a member is in a group.


Note: This is how other Group members will access the folder too.
