Group Management
Groups are where shared expenses live. Learn how to organize them, manage members and roles, and keep everything tidy.
Group Types
Pick the type that matches the context when creating a group
Friends
Trips, dinners, shared subscriptions — anything you split with your circle.
Family
Household expenses, groceries, and utilities among family members.
Community
Neighbors, clubs, and other communities pooling costs together.
Organization
Teams and organizations tracking shared spending, like team lunches or supplies.
Roles & Permissions
Every member has a role badge visible on the Members tab
Owner
Full control of the group, including the ability to delete it. The member who creates a group becomes its owner.
Admin
Can add and remove members and manage the group's expenses and settlements alongside the owner.
Member
Can add expenses, view balances, and record settlements they are part of.
The platform's role hierarchy (owner > admin > moderator > member) is shared across the whole ecosystem; in expense groups you'll mainly assign Member or Admin.
Managing Members
Open the group's Members tab (admin or owner required). Enter the person's CyberEco user ID and a display name, choose Member or Admin, and add them. They'll see the group next time they open Expenses.
From the same Members tab, admins can remove a member. Consider settling outstanding balances with them first so nobody loses track of a debt.
Group Housekeeping
Settings Tab
See the group's name, type, currency, member count, and total expenses at a glance.
Export Group Data
From the group's Settings tab, download the group's complete history as a JSON file — expenses, members, and settlements.
Delete a Group
Owners can permanently delete a group from the Settings tab. You must type the group's name to confirm — export first, deletion cannot be undone.
Tips for Healthy Groups
Keep groups scoped to one context — a trip, a household, a team — rather than one giant group for everything. Balances stay readable and settling up stays simple.
Since each group has a single currency chosen at creation, create a separate group for expenses in another currency (for example, a dedicated group for an international trip).
Export before you delete. A group's JSON export preserves the full history even after the group is gone. Data sovereignty in practice
Organize Your First Group
Groups take seconds to create and keep every shared expense in its place.
