Customize Content Structure with Divisions

What's in it for you

In large organizations, diverse structures demand independent content and user management across regions, languages, and business units. Showpad Divisions offer a powerful solution, allowing you to tailor content structures, user environments, and permissions at a global level.

Centralized Oversight:

• An overarching Global Division ensures administrators can upload universally accessible content.
• Global Division admins have control over users in both global and underlying Divisions.

Tailored Divisional Control:

• Each underlying Division is managed by Promoted Members with specific content libraries and user structures.
• Promoted Members can upload content, manage users, Courses, Paths, send announcements, and access analytics for their designated Division.

Key features

• Separate content based on region or language
• Assign user groups to selected divisions
• Use content from the global division in underlying divisions
• Promote members to give more granular permissions to certain users

You need this to succeed

• Divisions need to be enabled in your Admin Settings
