How To: Create an Employee Group
The Employee Groups area is crucial for role-based access control in Yellow Dog Inventory. It simplifies administration by bundling permissions and store assignments into reusable groups, which can then be applied to employees. This not only improves security and consistency but also makes onboarding and staff management more efficient.
All client types should use Employee Groups to manage permissions sets.
