Snippet Group Permissions

You can set permissions for the Snippet Groups you create and share with others. Admins of a TextExpander Organization account can also set permissions for any shared Snippet Group in their organization’s Snippet Group library. Learn more about sharing your Snippet Groups.

When you share a Snippet Group with other TextExpander users, they are given ‘Can expand’ permission by default. You can update their permissions at any time.

There are three types of Snippet Group permissions:

• Can expand: view and expand Snippets within the group
• Can edit: create and edit Snippets within the group
• Can manage: create and edit Snippets, manage access and settings
