A Strapi plugin that lets you organise your collection types, single types and components into named, colour coded groups in a dedicated admin panel page.

• Assign any collection type, single type or component to a group
• Fine grained role permissions (read, create, update, delete)

Requirements

• Strapi v5 (v5.0.0 or later)
• Node.js ≥ 18

Installation

# npm
npm install strapi-plugin-group-manager

# yarn
yarn add strapi-plugin-group-manager

Then enable the plugin in your Strapi app's config/plugins.ts (or .js):

export default {
  'group-manager': {
    enabled: true,
  },
};

Rebuild and restart your Strapi app:

Usage

1. Open the Strapi admin panel.
2. Navigate to Group Manager in the left sidebar.
3. Click Create group to add a new group, give it a name, colour, and icon.
4. Use the Assign button on each group. The dialog has three tabs: Collection Types, Single Types and Components.
