    Scaling org unit membership management in Airtable

    Super admins in Enterprise Hub can connect user groups to an org unit—allowing you to control org membership through user groups instead of manually assigning and unassigning org unit members.

    Any group members connected to your organization are members of that org unit.

    NOTE

    To control org unit assignments using SCIM, we recommend pushing groups to Airtable through SCIM and then connecting those groups to org units.

    Connecting user groups in Airtable

    Connecting user groups

    • The org unit’s existing list of members is overwritten that user group is connected to an org unit.

    • All users that belong to a connected user group become members of that org unit.

    • The org unit’s membership status automatically changes to “Connected to user group.”

    • The org unit’s membership status cannot change until all user groups are disconnected from that org unit.

    Connecting user groups

    NOTE

    A user group must belong to the unassigned org unit to be eligible to connect to an org unit.

    NOTE

    • Multiple user groups can be connected to an org unit. To be assigned to the org unit, a user only needs to be a member of one connected user group.

    • Changes to connected user groups automatically apply to the org unit’s membership.
