#377 - Assigning Security Group with Workflows
Is it possible to assign security groups with workflows?
I'm hooking up our inbound form on our website to flow into the Leads module, but I'd like to set a Security Group on those. Is this possible to automate?

I've heard of folks doing that with Process Manager (https://www.sugaroutfitters.com/addons/process-manager-enterprise). You can also set a default group to be assigned to all newly created Leads. That's useful if you want a single controller group to then dish it out to the appropriate sales person. If you want to add additional logic I'd advise checking out Process Manager or adding a custom logic hook so that when a new Lead gets created you assign the appropriate Security Group to it.

Thanks for the quick response! I'm on SuiteCRM and using AdvancedOpen Workflow - have you head anyone assigning groups with that?

Yes, I've heard that supports groups now. That should work well. SuiteCRM comes with the basic version of SecuritySuite. If you have 3+ users in your install (which guessing that you do given you're using SecuritySutie) then you'd get good value with upgrading to Premium which you can purchase here. Here is the feature list difference: https://www.sugaroutfitters.com/docs/securitysuite/go-premium
Basically, the login/sudo feature alone makes it well worth upgrading. Makes it easy to set up your users, train them, etc.

Actually I think my workflow that assigns it to a user will allow that lead to inherit that users group....is this correct?

That is correct. Just make sure that you have Inherit from Assigned User set under SecuritySuite Settings.

Just to follow up and close this out, assigning security groups as part of a workflow is now fully possible via Process Manager. Here is a tutorial that outlines how to do just that: https://www.sugaroutfitters.com/docs/securitysuite/process-manager-adding-groups
