Site Groups in Atlas help you manage access for clients with multiple sites. By using Site Groups, you control which users can view specific sites and their related data.

Why Use Site Groups?

  • Restrict visibility so users only see selected sites.

  • Improve data security and privacy for sensitive information.

  • Simplify management for organisations with multiple locations.

Note: Site Groups affect access to:

  • Documents

  • Risk Assessments and SOPs

  • Checklists

  • Incident Logs

Other areas, like employees and holidays, are managed through permissions and department structure.

How Site Groups Work

When you assign a user to a Site Group, they can only view data for the sites in that group. For example, when creating a risk assessment, users can only select locations they have access to.

How to Enable and Set Up Site Groups

  1. Go to Company > Site Groups.

  2. Turn on the Site Groups slider.

    • Only enable this if you have more than one site.

    • If enabled by mistake, contact us via the chat icon to disable it.

  3. Click ‘Add Group’ at the top of the page to create your first group.

    • Start by creating a group that includes all sites. This ensures service owners and main users can see everything.

  4. Create a Site Group in Three Steps:

    • Name the Group: Use clear names like ‘All Sites’ or the location name.

    • Select Sites: Drag and drop the relevant sites into the group.

    • Add Users: Use ‘add/remove user’ to assign managers, H&S users, or service owners. You don’t need to add employees, as they don’t access site-specific data.

  5. Click ‘Save Group’ to finish. Repeat these steps to create more groups as needed.
