Managing memberships of users who work in different locations
You may have users who work at different locations in your organisation. Ziik is built to manage these use cases. Remember that we refer to that as working in different Units in Ziik. Please also note that if a user belongs to more units they can have the same or different roles in each of them.
Example of multiple Unit memberships - A user can be manager in your Head Office with permissions to share information with the entire organisation. The same user can be Manager Supervisor in your regional office. Ziik is completely flexible in this way.
To add another Unit membership on a user:
1. Go to Contacts -> People
2. Open the menu on a user by clicking the three dots next to their profile
3. Click Unit memberships
4. Click Add membership
5. Define the Unit and Role of that membership
