   Note that your Suppliers app is in the list of content items.

A group is a set of one or more apps displayed together in the launchpad. Assigning apps to groups allows users to view them in the launchpad.

2. Enter Our Suppliers as the Title.

4. Next to the Suppliers app, click the + icon to assign your app to this group.

   

   You’ll see that the icon changes.

2. Click the Everyone role to open the role editor.

3. Click Edit.
