Groups

What are groups for?

Since Buddy doesn't require advanced DevOps knowledge, it can be used by developers and non-technical users alike. Groups let you easily divide your team for easier identification: front-end, back-end, QA, support, marketing, tech writers, etc.

By default, Buddy has a single built-in Administrators group that cannot be removed or edited. Giving users admin rights from the People tab will automatically add them to this group.
