[section]Managing Autogrants[/section] Previously autogrants were assigned at a partner level, with only Valve admins being able to add or remove them after they were set. This meant it was impossible for you to have some accounts with access to an autogrant package while restricting it from others.

It also meant that if you wanted to remove an autogrant, you had to contact someone at Valve. But we recently changed it so autogrants are set at a group level instead. With this change, we've also made it so you can add or remove autogrant packages when managing your groups. …
