This Community's Groups

A group is a set of portal users to whom you grant specific access privileges. You can create community groups without affecting portal groups. You create community groups so that you can easily assign responsibilities to community members. For example, you might have a group that is responsible for maintaining schedules in the community.

To learn more about groups, see Group Membership.

You can perform the following actions on this page:

• To create a group available only to this community, click Create Group. Complete the Group Editor. For more information, click here.
  The new group you create is stored in the community folder. You can also create a group for this community by navigating to the community folder and, from the Create Object drop-down list, selecting Group.

• To edit a group, click its name.

• To delete a group, select it and click .
  When you delete a group, it is deleted from the community folder.
