Configuring workgroup permissions and privacy settings

Faspex admins can designate workgroup members as workgroup admins. Workgroup admins can have additional permissions granted per workgroup. All Faspex admins are workgroup admins of every workgroup.

To manage workgroup settings, go to the Settings tab of any workgroup.

Workgroup admin permissions

There, you can enable workgroup admins to:

  • Add existing IBM Aspera users and remove non-admin members: Workgroup admins can add any user from the user directory to the workgroup. This must be enabled for workgroup admins to add members.
  • Create and add new IBM Aspera users: Workgroup admins can create a new user and add that user to the workgroup.
  • Add and remove SAML groups: Workgroup admins can add any SAML group to the workgroup.
Note:
  • All Faspex admins and managers have these permissions for every workgroup.
  • IBM Aspera users do not include external users.

Workgroup privacy settings

You should restrict visibility to increase member privacy.

Who can see and send packages to this workgroup
  • No one
  • Workgroup members only
  • Workgroup admins only
  • Anyone
Who can see and send packages to other workgroup members
  • No one
  • Workgroup admins only
  • All workgroup members
Important: If you set the permission for both options No one, no one can see or send to the workgroup and workgroup members cannot see or send to each other, so members in the workgroup are members in name only.
