Groups

The Groups page, under Administration → Access Control → Groups, lets you assign a role to a group so that everyone in the group inherits that role, and lets you designate VIP groups. Managing access by group gives many people the same access at once. A user's effective role reflects the role of every group they belong to.

The table lists your groups:

Every member of the group inherits this role. If a member belongs to more than one group, or also has a role assigned directly, their effective role is the highest-privilege role among them.

Select a group's row to open a detail panel showing its Group Role, the VIP control, and a Members table listing each member's User (name and email) and Effective Role.

Use the crown control in the group's row to mark the group as a VIP group. Activity by members of a VIP group is restricted so that only roles with VIP visibility can see it.

After setting a group's role, the Group Role column for that group updates to show the new role.

After toggling VIP status, the crown control label in the group's row changes: a group you marked as VIP shows Remove VIP; one you removed from VIP shows Make VIP.
