Group admins can enable or disable this feature for their group.
We've added a new option to our Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar integrations: Enable integration for all subgroups. This option allows subgroups to automatically inherit the calendar integration from their parent group, making calendar management easier across multiple groups.
How it works
When Enable integration for all subgroups is turned on for a group, the calendar integration is inherited by all its subgroups. A group admin at any level can disable it to stop the inheritance.
If the integration credentials of a group with inheritance on expire, the credentials of all its subgroups expire too. If a group overrides the inheritance of its parent and its credentials expire, the platform uses the next parent group where inheritance is on.
Example
For example, the setting is enabled on your platform group, which contains three subgroups: Group A, Group B, and Group C. The calendar integration applies to each of these subgroups.
- If Group A has its own subgroups (for example, Group A1 and Group A2), those subgroups will also inherit the calendar integration.
- However, if a group admin for Group A2 disables the feature, the inheritance stops at that level, and Group A2 will not share the parent group's calendar.
This allows group admins to control calendar inheritance at their respective levels while maintaining consistency across your organization.
Subgroup limits
To prevent performance issues, this option cannot be enabled for a group with more than 1000 subgroups. For these groups, the option is greyed out. To enable it, first reduce the number of subgroups in your group hierarchy.
Activating the feature
To enable the integration for all subgroups:
- In the left sidebar, hover over a group, then click
Settings.
- Go to the Integrations page.
- Click the integration for which you would like to enable group inheritance.
- Under Other parameters, toggle the setting: Enable integration for all subgroups.
- Note: This setting is On by default for new integrations.
This will automatically apply the calendar integration from the parent group to all subgroups, simplifying your scheduling management.
