Before end users ever log in to QuickHelp, a QuickHelp Admin can create Groups or System Groups in QuickHelp, assign Skill Paths, and determine if these Groups are managed by a QuickHelp Admin with the proper Admin Roles. 


Groups must be created manually, but System Groups can be created automatically using attribute mapping within your SSO configuration. Using Groups (instead of System Groups) is QuickHelp’s best practice. To understand the difference between Groups and System Groups click here. This document will focus on the Group type Group. Instructions for creating a System Group are found here.


Groups can either be created from the Admin Portal or the End-User Portal, depending on the Admin Role assigned. Steps for both methods will be provided below.


Admin Portal

  1. Click New > Group > Group from the Action Bar
  2. Enter a Title in the New Group wizard
  3. Enter a Description (optional)
  4. Enter Keywords (optional)
    NOTE: Keywords can be used for searching in the QuickHelp Portal
  5. Click the Next arrow
  6. Enter an Owner (optional, unless Access is enabled, see step 16 below)
    NOTE: The Group Owner must have Admin access to Groups
  7. If group membership is to be automatic based on defined criteria, check Enrollment 
    (If you are not creating an Auto Enrollment Group: skip to step 15)
  8. Click the Next arrow
  9. Choose Microsoft Graph from the Member Source pulldown menu
    NOTE: At this time, Microsoft Graph is the only available Member Source, and Graph must be configured in your QuickHelp tenant

    NOTE: If unlicensed QuickHelp users are added to an enrollment group, and then these users are later licensed... the "You've been added to a group" Email will go out to these users when they receive a QuickHelp license. There is not a way to disable this email.

  15. If group membership requires approval from the Group Owner, check Access, else leave it unchecked
  16. Click the Next arrow
