Thank you for your feedback
This document will guide you through the User Settings and the User Groups tabs accessible under Admin Settings.
In the User Settings tab, you can add individuals to MakersHub and customize their permissions, allowing you to position each user based on their role in the bill approval or payment process. Once the users in your organization have been added, you may create User Groups to mirror your organization’s structure.

User Groups: Creating User Groups
User groups are teams that can be created to reflect your business structure. These groups are useful when creating approval workflows where only one member of a specified group needs to approve a bill or payment.
To create a user group, type the Group Name and the Group Description and click Add User Group. Consider the example below, where we are creating an AP Department user group.
Then click the Add user… dropdown and select the members you want to be part of the group. Click Update when done.
Now, when creating approval workflows, only one member of the AP Department would need to approve a bill for it to become a payable.
