Solution Permissions: Assign Solution Managers by Team

We’re introducing support for assigning Solution Manager permissions to entire Teams in SmartSuite.
This enhancement allows admins to grant management access to multiple members at once—ensuring that all team members automatically inherit Solution Manager (SM) permissions when their team is selected.

It’s a simpler, faster way to manage permissions at scale—fully compatible with SCIM Team provisioning and deprovisioning to keep access synchronized automatically.

Key Highlights

• Assign Teams as Solution Managers: Add one or more Teams to automatically grant Solution Manager permissions to all members.
• Automatic Inheritance: Every member of the selected team instantly receives the same SM permission.
• Team Visibility: Teams appear in the Solution Manager list as selectable “pills,” just like individual members.
• Easy Management: Teams can be removed from the Solution Manager list with a single click.
• SCIM Compatible: Works seamlessly with SCIM provisioning to ensure permission changes reflect instantly when users join or leave a team.
• Safeguards Included: The “Everyone” team is excluded to prevent accidental overexposure of permissions.

How It Works

When adding a Solution Manager to a Solution:

• Click the “+” button in the Solution Managers section.
• The selection control now displays both individual members and Teams.
• Select one or more Teams—each appears as a pill in the Solution Manager list.
• All members of those Teams automatically inherit Solution Manager permissions.
• To remove access, click the “X” next to a Team pill.
• Changes update immediately, and permissions are reflected for all team members.

The control reuses the same component used in Record Comments, supporting hybrid selection (individual users + teams) in a single view.
