User Groups

User Groups let workspace admins control which team members can see specific equipment. Use groups to restrict sensitive or department-specific items so only relevant people can view or book them.

Creating and managing groups

Go to Settings → User Groups. From there you can:

  • Create a group with a name and optional description
  • Add or remove workspace members from each group
  • Edit or delete groups at any time

Item visibility settings

Every item has a visibility setting. Choose who can see and book it:

SettingWho can see the item
All workspace members (default)Every active member in the workspace can view and book this item.
Restricted (specific groups)Only members belonging to at least one of the selected groups can view or book this item. Admins always see all items.

Permissions

Group management is admin-only. Regular members can:

  • View groups they belong to
  • Set item visibility to groups they are a member of (when creating or editing items)

Deleting a group

When you delete a group that controls item visibility, Werp™ will ask what to do: reset affected items to "visible to all", or move them to a different group. Both options are applied in a single atomic operation so no items are left in an inconsistent state.

Visibility is enforced at the API level — hidden items never appear in lists, search results, or booking flows, even if a user knows the item ID.
