Create and manage groups
- [Instructor] As an admin, you have the ability to create groups on the LinkedIn Learning platform, which is a great way to deliver specific content or announcements to the people it will matter most to. In order to view my groups, I want to navigate to my People Management page. I'll do that by going to the Me icon, and then manage users, or manage users in Admin Center. Once I'm on my People Management page, up at the top, I can see that I'm on the users tab, but I want to go one over to the right to the groups tab. And I'll click on this. And here, we'll show all of the groups that were created in our organization. Now, if I click on one of them, let's say remote workers, I can see that right now this group has two people in it. I can see the licenses, editors, and child groups, which are subgroups. I'm going to back out, though. And let's take a look at how we can create a new group. I can do this by going to the upper right corner and clicking on the box that says Create New Group. Now here we have two things to fill out. One, is the name of the group. I'm going to title this one New Managers. And then we can decide if we want to add any members right now. In this case, I do want to add a new manager, and that is Michaela. You can see her name populates here. You could add multiple people here to invite them at the same time. But in this case, I just have Mikayla. Now, you could also add a parent group. So if this was going to be a subgroup underneath a larger one, I could add the larger one that it would go under. In this case, it's its own group. I'm going to go ahead and click create. And just like that, I created a new group inside of the LinkedIn learning platform. Now, when I go down here, I can see that new managers group. When I open it up, there's Michaela. I can also manage members from here, email the group from here. I can see licenses editors, and child groups, and so on. Now, one final thing I do want to point out is the child groups. So here, if I scroll down, you'll see that I have a group for sales team, and this one has child groups. So if I show the child groups, they are Sales Team East and Sales Team West. So this means that the sales team is the overall group that all of these people are in, but then these are the subgroups, Sales Team East, Sales Team West. So if I click back here and then go to my sales team, I can go to child groups over at the right, and I have the ability to add child groups. So let's say I've created a new group already, and that is the Sales Team International, I'm going to add them as well, so here's Sales Team International. That was already a group I created. I'm going to add it here so that it becomes a child group of the sales team, so those can be useful as well. So that's a quick look at groups inside of LinkedIn Learning. Take advantage of groups as a great way to deliver content relevant to a specific group of people helping to improve engagement.
