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](manually-sharing-your-trust-center) for full invitation instructions. *** ## Adding groups to existing contacts Need to add or change access groups for someone who’s already invited? 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.

Domain-level group assignment saves time by applying consistent permissions to all users from the same organization. :books: **Want to learn more?** Check out [Understanding connections](managing-connections) to learn about how domain grouping works across your Trust Center. *** ## 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. *** ## What's next? * **Test what customers see:** [Previewing your Trust Center](previewing-your-trust-center) * **Manage ongoing access:** [Connections overview](managing-connections) *** **Need help?** Start with [Troubleshooting → Trust Center issues](trust-center-issues) or email .
