Adding Connections to access groups

Time to complete: 5 minutes per customer
Prerequisites: You’ve set up access groups and assigned them to documents.


How it works

Once you've created access groups and assigned them to documents, you can grant those groups to specific customers when you share your Trust Center.

Customers will see:

  • All Anyone content (public)
  • All Approved customers content
  • Content from their assigned access groups
  • Nothing from groups they don’t have

Customers don’t see which access groups they’re assigned to - they simply see the content available to them based on their permissions.


Granting groups when inviting

When you invite someone to your Trust Center:

  1. Open the Share dialog.
  2. Enter their email.
  3. Select which access groups to grant using the dropdown menu.
  4. Click Send invitation.
Share dialog in Conveyor with access group selection displayed. Several groups are selected before sending an invitation.

Grant access groups when inviting new users so they immediately see the right content after approval.

Once the invitation is sent and the connection is approved, the user will automatically see content based on their assigned groups.

See Manually sharing your Trust Center for full invitation instructions.


Adding groups to existing contacts

  1. Go to Audience → Connections → Contacts.
  2. Find the customer.
  3. Select the pencil icon in the Access Groups column.
Audience → Connections table showing the Access Groups column. A pencil icon appears next to each contact, which can be clicked to edit their access groups.

Granting groups by Connection

You can set default access groups for your Connections allowing anyone approved from that domain to automatically receive those group permissions.

  1. Go to Audience → Connections.
  2. Search for your desired domain.
  3. Select the pencil icon under Auto-Apply Groups
Domain-level settings panel in Conveyor showing the configuration of default access groups for a customer’s email domain.

Select the pencil icon to configure which access groups should be automatically applied for that domain.

  1. Choose default access groups for the domain.
  2. Choose how you want these settings to apply to existing users within that domain.
Domain-level settings in Conveyor where default access groups are configured for a customer’s domain.

Domain-level group assignment saves time by applying consistent permissions to all users from the same organization.

Common questions

Can I assign multiple access groups to one customer?
Yes. You can assign multiple groups, and they’ll see content from all of them.

What happens if I remove a group from a customer?
They immediately lose access to all content associated with that group.

Can customers see which groups they have?
No. The group structure is invisible to them. They only see the content available.

What happens if I grant a group that has no documents?
Nothing changes for the customer. It won’t give them extra access, but you may want to assign documents to that group later.
