Groups
Groups are used to assign permissions to portal users. There are four default groups available on all portals:
- Authenticated Users (Virtual Group)
- Editors
- Site Administrators
- Super Users
All users of a portal are automatically added to the portal's Authenticated Users group which has viewing permission of contents in the published state. See User Permissions for more information on the permissions corresponding to the different default groups.
Site Administrators are the only users who can perform tasks like adding users and groups, changing the portal settings, and adding, editing and deleting content (except in Group Spaces and folders where the Sharing feature is enabled). The number of Site Administrators should be limited because it is a powerful permission.
Users can be assigned to groups when a new user is added to a site, or by editing the individual group's membership.
Additional groups can be created for use in Group Spaces.
