Hello
Thank you for your post.
There are a couple things to keep note which I listed below.
- You can only have one Team (primary group) but you can create an unlimited amount of General Groups and Subgroups.
- Every team member belongs to a single Primary Group. The Primary Group is used to determine license allocation. (You can allot different groups certain amounts of licenses)
- A team member can be added to an unlimited number of General Groups. General Group membership is used to automatically grant access to Team Folders and documents.
To further address your access question. The Sub Group that is created under the General group will automatically be added to the list within the General Group section as you mentioned. The Sub Group will inherit the access of the General Group for documents and folders access.
To learn more details please review our Lucid admin panel: Group management Article which will go over more details on group management.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
I want to inform everyone of a recent change to this feature. License limits for organizational groups have been launched as of January 30th, 2025. Instead of allotting licenses, you can now set a license limit for each organizational group. If you are already using organizational groups this is available to you! Read the Lucid admin panel: Group management Help Center article to learn more.
*Note that if you’ve historically used license allotments you can continue to use those.
