Managing user groups and settings in Zoom App

Note :

After August 21, 2021, IM Groups has been merged with User Groups and will appear as Groups if you just signed up for a Zoom account after that date. The New Admin Experience explains how to create and manage groups.

Manage groups of users in your account is a convenient way to turn settings on and off. Likewise, you can lock settings on or off for the group to enforce their use or disable them.

Settings available for group members mirror those for the account as a whole as well as for individual users. You can also enable or disable settings at the account level as well as lock them. Users can adjust them on their own if they’re not locked for their account or group. See tiered settings for more information.

An admin can assign a primary group to a user even if they are in more than one group. Default settings will apply to the user in the primary group. Users will be locked out of settings locked by other groups, if those settings are locked by those groups. A user is automatically added to the primary group when they are first registered.

Additionally, you can assign group administrators the responsibility of managing the members and group settings. A group administrator can also monitor which groups are set as the primary groups for users within their group. Editing user groups does not require a group admin to be an account admin or to have role permissions.
