✏️ Group Admins

A brief guide to the role and access for group administrators

Updated over 4 months ago

What is a Group Admin?

A Group Admin's role is to ensure that everyone in the group is getting the most out of Blink. To help you do this, you have access to some extra features and the Blink Admin Portal.

ℹ️ The Blink Admin Portal is accessible from a computer via the desktop app or by visiting www.admin.joinblink.com - this link can also be accessed on a tablet.

📑 Feed content

Groups need access to relevant and up-to-date content in the feed. Group Admins have access to extra features to make this easy.

You can moderate the feed as well as create priority posts for the groups they are an Admin for. These posts are given a boost so that they stand out from everything else in the Feed, helping important updates get seen.

📚 Hub Content

Group Admins can modify Hub content for only their groups(s). They can add, edit, replace and remove content from the Hub via Blink Admin, so you can make sure the group has access to the latest information and tools that they need.

📖 Mandatory Reads

Group Admins are able to create Mandatory Reads for their group, and view the results for those Mandatory Reads via Blink Admin. When group admins need to know that the group has read and understood important information, Mandatory Reads give them a paper trail of who has received and read the update, as well as who has/hasn’t acknowledged it.

👪 Users & Groups

Depending on overall settings, Group Admins may be able to invite other users to the organization.

You can support other group members by trouble shooting things from your profile and, if needed, you can even disable user accounts. You can also manage the details and membership of groups they are an Admin for via the Groups section of the Blink Admin Portal.

💹 Activity & Engagement

You can use the analytics section of the Admin Portal to measure the adoption and engagement of your group. Please note that you will only be able to see the group(s) that you are assigned as an admin for. If you are missing information or don't see all of your groups, please follow up with your manager to ensure you've been assigned correctly.
