Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The current issu…e is that Frappe does not support restricting access to specific documents based on user groups. This can be problematic for organizations that need to control access to certain documents for different groups of users. Describe the solution you'd like I would like Frappe to introduce a feature that allows administrators to assign document-level permissions to user groups. This means that when a document is assigned to a user group, only members of that group can view or interact with the document. Describe alternatives you've considered Without this feature, administrators may resort to manually managing document access by assigning permissions to individual users. However, this approach can be time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to maintain, especially in large organizations with many users and documents. Additional context Implementing user group permissions at the document level would greatly improve access control in Frappe, making it easier for organizations to manage document security and compliance requirements. It would also simplify administration tasks by providing a more scalable and efficient way to control document access based on user groups. >> Our team at Improwised is excited to tackle this issue and contribute to adding user group permissions for documents.

which discusses User Group–based document permissions. The issue has been open for quite some time and doesn’t seem to have moved forward.

User Permissions can only be applied per user?

what workaround or pattern are people actually following for assigning permission to a group of people? bulk manage User Permissions manually?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.
