https://app.buddy.works/DOMAIN

Group profile
Clicking the name of the group in Buddy will bring up its details:
Group details
The view has four tabs:
- Activity – displays all actions of the group members in the workspace
- Members – lets you add and remove people from the group
- Access logs – the security log of group activity, including dates of workspace access, including the name, IP, and date
- Projects – displays all projects to which at least one of the group members belongs. You can add the remaining group users to a project with pre-selected permissions or remove all users from a group at once
Groups & projects
The Projects tab on the group's view allows you to add and remove group members from projects and manage their permissions.
Single-project assignment
Each project displays the number of group members currently assigned to it. Clicking the number lets you add the remaining members with the selected permission set, or remove the entire group from the project:
