PLAN: MAX | ENTERPRISE

Sharing Groups can be used by larger organizations to simplify and improve knowledge sharing and collaboration across teams and expand the context of information Semblian has access to for a given user. This feature is available exclusively to Enterprise plan subscribers.

Sharing Groups allows workspace admins to organize users into user groups. Once configured, admins can define “auto-sharing” rules that automatically share users' meetings within a given group with other users or groups. Once the meeting is auto-shared, the list of users with whom it was shared will appear in the “Share” interface for that meeting.

Individual meetings can be toggled as “Do not auto-share” to prevent auto-sharing of those meetings (and leave them accessible only to the participants on the call). The toggle is only displayed for meetings subject to auto-sharing.

What are Sharing Groups?

Sharing Groups allow an admin to create groups of users and define auto-sharing rules between them.
For example:

  • A group called New Features (developers working on new releases)

  • A group called the Sales Team

Using Sharing Groups, an admin can create a rule that all new meetings from “New Features” are automatically shared with “Sales Team.”

With Sharing Groups, admins can:

-Create multiple flexible groups
-Define which group’s meetings should be shared with another
-Automatically share all new meetings
-Ensure consistency across the organization

This ensures that the right people stay informed without any manual steps.

Only admins can create and manage Sharing Groups. End users (members) cannot modify these rules, and they don't have access to view this section. A user can belong to multiple Sharing Groups.

This feature provides a unified, top-down approach to managing meeting visibility, ensuring teams stay informed without manual effort.

How to create a Sharing Group

Here are the steps to create a Sharing Group:

  1. Go to Settings:

  2. In the Workspace tab, select the Sharing Groups section:

  3. Click on Create Group:

  4. A pop-up opens where you can name the group and add members to it. To add members to a group, click on any user from the All members list on the left, and they will be moved to the Group members list on the right.

  5. A small pop-up in the lower-left corner of your screen indicates successful group creation, and the group will appear in the list.
     

  6. The next step is to set up the Auto-sharing rules. Choose which member or group meetings you want to auto-share with other users/groups. For example, you have a member who needs to share customer interview meetings with the Sales team. You choose the appropriate user and choose who their meetings will be shared with. After you are done with your selection, please press the Save button.

7. All new completed meetings in the Meetings list that fit the auto-sharing rules will have a small blue icon on the right side of them. When hovering over the icon, you will see who the meeting will be auto-shared with.

How to edit the Group

  1. Go to Settings, then in the Workspace tab, press  Sharing groups.

  2. In your Group list, select the group you need to edit, then press the pencil icon to the right of the group.

  3. You can change the group name and add or remove members.

Controlling your meting privacy

Users in a Sharing Group can choose to disable sharing for their own individual meetings:

  1. On the meeting list, toggle the No auto-share button ON if you do not wish to share the meeting.

  2. Keep the toggle OFF if you want to share the meeting.

info icon
This toggle only affects auto-sharing via Sharing Groups. It does not override other sharing types (e.g., Manager Sharing).

Workspace Admin can create exceptions for a whole group.

  1. In Sharing Groups, scroll down until you see Auto-Shared exceptions

  2. Press Add and choose a Group in the list

  3. After that, the chosen Group will be saved in the Auto-shared exceptions list

info icon
Groups on this exception list will not have their meetings automatically shared.

How to delete a group

  1. Choose a group from the list that you want removed. Press the pencil icon to the right of it.

  2. In the Edit Group pop-up, press the Delete Group button in the lower left corner.

  3. You will be asked if you are sure you want to proceed with the deletion.

  4. After you press the Delete button, the Group will be removed, along with the Auto-sharing rules that were set up with it.

How to delete an auto-sharing rule:

  1. Choose which rule you want to remove.

  2. Press the trash icon to the right of it.

  3. You will see a pop-up tab asking if you are sure you want to remove the rule permanently. After you press the Yes button, the rule will be removed.
