Add a Distribution Group to the Project Directory

Objective

To add a distribution group to the Project Directory. 

Background

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:
  • To be added to a distribution group, a user must first be added to the Project Directory. See Add a User Account to the Project Directory.
• 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.
