What is a User Group?

A user group is a collection of users that can be managed together within your system. User groups are used to organize users who share similar access needs or responsibilities, making it easier to control who can view or edit specific content.

  • User groups act as containers for multiple users.
  • They help manage permissions efficiently by grouping users with similar roles.

Key Concepts

User groups can be assigned to protected sites, which means every member of the group automatically receives permission to access those sites. This simplifies the process of granting or revoking access for many users at once.

  • Assigning a group to a site grants access to all its members.
  • User groups are configured in your system settings.

Why User Groups Matter

Using user groups streamlines permission management, especially in larger organizations. Instead of setting permissions for each user individually, administrators can manage access by group, saving time and reducing errors.

  • User groups improve efficiency in managing user permissions.
  • They help ensure consistent access control across your system.
