Overview
Groups are the primary tool for managing which users can access private channels in your organization. By assigning users to a group and granting that group access to a channel, you control package availability at the team level without managing individual user permissions.
How groups work
A group is a named collection of users. When you grant a group access to a private channel, every member of that group can install packages from that channel using their Anaconda credentials. Users can belong to multiple groups, and a channel can be shared with multiple groups.
Creating a group
- In Anaconda Platform Cloud, navigate to Groups in the left navigation menu.
- Click Create Group.
- Enter a Group Name and optional description.
- Click Save.
Adding members to a group
- Open the group and select the Members tab.
- Click Add Member.
- Search for the user by name or email and select them.
- Click Add.
Note: Users must already have an account in your organization before they can be added to a group. To invite new users, go to Organization Settings > Users > Invite User.
Granting a group access to a private channel
- Navigate to Channels and open the channel you want to share.
- Select the Access tab.
- Click Add Group.
- Select the group from the list and click Save.
Removing access
To revoke a group's access to a channel, open the channel's Access tab, locate the group, and click Remove. Members of that group will lose access to the channel immediately.
