Step-by-step Guide to Creating New Groups
Groups are used for a variety of reasons, but generally they are used to manage permissions and access, or to manage contact lists. COmanage handles basic groups; for more complex group structures, Grouper integration is required.
- From the COmanage Registry home page, login and select your CO.
- Click on 'Groups' and then 'All Groups' in the menu bar.
- On the Groups page, select 'Add Groups', located above the Groups table.
- On the 'Add a Group' page, fill in the fields, and click 'Add'.
'Add a Group' Options
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Record the name of your group. This is a required field. |
| Description | Record a brief description of the group. This helps other users and future administrators understand the purpose of the group. |
| Open | This is a check box to indicate whether anyone can join, or if users may only be added by the group owner. |
| Status | Groups may be Active or Suspended. |
