We’ve been working on our new permission engine for the last five weeks, and today I’m very proud to roll it out! The new system allows you to create groups for users, so that you can have an option to share things only with the people you choose. It also enables that people only see the information they need to see.

You can easily create and manage groups. Here is how:

1. Click the Groups on the right cornor of the page.

2.You will see all the groups you’ve created. To create a new one, you can simply click Add a group, and type the name of your new group, and then select users to be added to the group.

To change the group name and members, you can click Edit next to the group you want to edit, and type in the new name or choose users from the dropdown list.

Ok, you have learnt absolutely everything about setting up and managing groups, secriously.

3. Now, if you creat a new person, an event, a cash flow record and a document, you will have a Select a Group option in the privacy settings section.

Click Select a Group, and it will fade out, and then the list of groups you’ve created will appear.

Guess what? You now have a real understanding of how to create and use group settings. Easy-to-learn, isn’t it?

We have been very busy at Bizroof for the last couple of weeks, and our primary focus is the new permission system, which will allow you to group users based on their common interests and share information within each group.

Every piece of data has its own privacy settings, including 3 options:

• Public – Anyone in your company can see it.
• Group – Only the users in the chosen group can see it
• Private – Only the creator can see it

Bear in mind that if a user can see something, it also means he can edit and delete it.

Twitter.com went down again at 11:22 am CET today.

There is no doubt that twitter is useful in terms of synchronizing information, but it has to be technically strong, rather than wrong (screen shot), to make people confident to use it. We wouldn’t complain too much since twitter is completely free at the moment. However, I don’t think twitter could run itself without a business model forever.

Today, we have removed the beta label of the iCalendar Feed feature as it met our goals for ease-of-use and overall performance.

If you want to subscribe to your bizroof events on other Calendar (e.g. Google Calendar, Outlook, etc), please sign in your bizroof account, and go to the Events page, and then click iCalendar Feed for events on the left hand side of the page.

Bizroof is a better web based CRM thanks to the many users who sent their feedback, helping us rapidly fix issues and improve the product.
