Concept of groups

A group is a container for users and contains little information. Groups can be added to a 'group set', which in its turn is just a container for one or more groups. The only thing that is defined in groups is which other groups users of this group can see.

Or in case of an administrator group, what other groups the administrators in this group can manage.

By assigning products to groups (or group sets) the member of those groups will get their permissions and rules.

By adding a configuration to a group the users of the group get their settings. Because groups contain little information it is a flexible way to manage users. Groups can be created quickly and assigned existing products and configuration depending on the requirements.

The Groups structure normally reflect a logical grouping of users. For example a geographical group or a specific community.

My Basic Network

In this lesson, we are going to create two group sets and name them 'Region A' and 'region B'. In each group set we will create 2 user groups (Gold and Silver members) and a broker group. The latter, we will use in another tutorial.

We will also create an administrator group for each region.
