# Creation permissions

> Choose who in your organization can create apps, forms, and workspaces.

## Overview

Everyone in your organization can create apps, forms, and workspaces by default. Admins can switch off any of these options for the whole organization, then allow selected [groups](/help/platform/access/user-groups) to use them.

This works well when you want to limit building to a pilot group or a trained team. Everyone else can still use the apps and forms they already have access to.

<Note>
  Creation permissions are available on **Enterprise** plans. [Contact us](https://www.zite.com/enterprise) to enable them for your organization.
</Note>

## How it works

Creation permissions have two levels:

1. **Organization defaults:** what anyone in the organization can create.
2. **Group permissions:** exceptions for members of a specific group.

Group permissions can add access, but they can't remove it. If the organization allows an item, a group can't block it. To restrict an item, switch it off for the organization and then enable it for the groups that need it.

<Note>
  Admins can always create apps, forms, and workspaces, regardless of these settings.
</Note>

## Set organization defaults

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open group settings">
    From the dashboard, click your `Account name` in the upper-left corner and select `Settings`. Open the [**Groups** tab](https://build.fillout.com/home/settings/groups).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open All users">
    Click the `All users` row at the top of the page, then switch to the `Advanced` tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose what everyone can create">
    Under **Users in the organization can create...**, toggle `Apps`, `Forms`, and `Workspaces` on or off, then click `Save`.

  </Step>
</Steps>

When you turn off a toggle, only admins and members of groups with explicit permission can create that item.

| Toggle         | Controls                                                                                                  |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Apps**       | New Zite apps, whether started from scratch, a prompt, a template, or a duplicate                         |
| **Forms**      | New forms and quizzes, including duplicates and imports from Typeform, Jotform, SurveyMonkey, and Fillout |
| **Workspaces** | New workspaces and their databases                                                                        |

<Note>
  The **Forms** toggle doesn't cover scheduling or payment forms. Users can still create them.
</Note>

## Grant creation access to a group

If creation is disabled for the organization, you can enable it for one or more groups.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the group">
    On the **Groups** tab, click the group you want to grant access to, then switch to the `Advanced` tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Turn on what this group can create">
    Under **Users in this group can create...**, turn on the items this group should be able to create, then click `Save`.

    </Frame>
  </Step>
</Steps>

In the example above, workspace creation is disabled for the organization and enabled for the IT group. The `Apps` and `Forms` toggles are locked on because everyone can already create them.

If someone belongs to more than one group, their access adds up. A member can create apps if any of their groups allows it.

<Tip>
  Zite saves a group's toggles even while they're locked. If you later turn off an item for the organization, groups that already had permission keep it.
</Tip>

## What restricted users see

Zite hides or disables creation buttons and menu items when someone lacks permission. A tooltip explains why. If they open a creation page directly, they see a message asking them to contact their organization admin.

Creation permissions only affect new items. Existing **Use** and **Edit** [permissions](/help/platform/access/user-groups) don't change, so members can keep using and editing anything they already have access to.
