Groups and Group Spaces
Portal groups and group spaces provide a mechanism for users to manage their own content within a designated space, and to control which users have access to that content.
A Group is a collection of portal users who can be granted access to a group space by associating the group with the group space. Portal users who do not belong to a group space cannot see or access any of the content within the space.
Group Spaces are private, collaborative areas within a portal in which group members can view and manage content.
- Site Administrator Instructions - Site Administrators are responsible for the initial creation of groups and group spaces and for setting permissions of group members.
- Group Space Member Instructions - Group members can be granted different roles with varying levels of permissions to edit content and/or membership within their group spaces.
- Group Space Roles - A description of the available roles that can be assigned to the members of a group space.
Enabling Group Spaces
Group Spaces are not automatically available on a portal. To add the Group Space content type to a portal, please contact IMS for assistance. After the Group Space feature is enabled, this content type may be added to any part of a portal.
