Creating Groups and Inviting Members

  • Updated

Groups in HiveTracks Pro let you collaborate with others by sharing apiaries and sites, assigning permissions, and organizing data by teams, clubs, or businesses. 

Step 1: Create a Group

  1. Go to the Groups tab from the left sidebar. 
  2. Click the "+" (create group) icon.
  3. Enter a Group Name. 
  4. Optionally, select Apiaries/Sites you want to share immediately.
  5. Choose a Group Type:
    1. Club: Members can share their own Apiaries and retain ownership if they leave the group.
    2. Business: The group admin becomes the owner of any shared Apiary or Site. 
  6. Click Create Group.

⚠️ Group type selection is permanent and cannot be changed later.

Step 2: Add Members to the Group

After creating your group in HiveTracks Pro, be sure to add some members. There are three ways for others to join your group: 

  • Copy Link: Share the generated group link. Anyone who is signed into a HiveTracks account will join the group after scanning the QR code.  
  • QR code: Display or share the code for others to scan. Anyone who is signed into a HiveTracks account will join the group after scanning the QR code.  
  • Email Invite: Click the "+" (Invite Member) button inside the group and enter: 
    • Name and Email.
    • Role (Admin or Member).
    • Assigned Apiaries/Sites.

⚠️ Permissions:

  • Admins can assign Apiaries/Sites and manage members.
  • Members can share their own Apiaries and Sites with the group and, if granted, contribute to other shared Apiaries or Sites.

Managing Groups

Go to the group overview page by selecting the name of the group you would like to edit. From here, admins can:

  • Change group name: Admins can edit the name directly from the group page
    Remove members: In the group members table on the group page, select the checkbox next to the member you would like to remove, then click the trash icon
  • Delete a group: On the Groups tab, select the checkbox next to the group you want to delete, then click the trash can. Only admins can delete the group
