Group types exist to identify the "child" companies of a specific partner and the specific products that a partner or their customer has subscribed to or otherwise needs access to. Group types also ensure that data is aggregated on the relevant levels only.
 
Note: This menu is available to top-level platform admins only.
 
To assist in the meaningful structuring of collections and groups, you can tag these by type in the Storage Platform Console by using right-click > Set Group Type.

The group types menu is visible to all users who have permission to edit group/collection settings, i.e. any collection/storage admin or non-admin with the user permission group.UpdateSettings.
 
Users will see the following options:
 
 Group type Icon colour Description
 Company Turquoise A collection for a reseller's customer (will have Base Product groups under it)
 Base Product Purple A collection for a service category, such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Machines

 

Please note: Base product groups (with the exception of machines) should not be set manually. New cloud collections created on the RedApp will automatically be assigned the correct group type.
