Objective

To add a distribution group to the Project Directory. 

Background

A distribution group is a list of email recipients that must be created in the Company or Project Directory tool. It is similar in function to a Contacts Group in an email program and it NOT associated with any security settings. Distribution groups can only be created and managed by users with 'Admin' level permission to the Company or Project Directory tool (see Add a Distribution Group to the Company Directory and Add a Distribution Group to the Project Directory).

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permission:
    • 'Admin' level permission on the project's Directory tool.
      OR
    • 'Standard' or 'Read Only' level permissions on the project's Directory tool with the 'Create and Edit Distribution Groups' granular permission enabled on your permission template.
  • Prerequisites:
  • Additional Information:
    • Many Procore clients prefer to create and manage distribution groups at the Company level. See Add a Distribution Group to the Company Directory.
    • If you add an existing distribution group to a new distribution group, each individual user in the existing group is added to your new distribution group. Future changes to the existing distribution group do NOT affect the new distribution group.
