Enhanced control with custom groups on Vimeo
Problem: You need more control over how users are grouped and given permissions in Vimeo, but your SSO security groups don't always give you the flexibility to customize further.

Why it's important: Gain deeper control and customize access for your team to enhance security without hindering access.
Available on: Select Enterprise plans.
