Creating Groups

This How-to applies to: 2.1

Learn the steps to create new Groups on your Plone site

Note: managers need to be logged in to perform these steps

  1. Click on the Site Setup link, usually found near the Site Map and/or Contact links
  2. Select User and Groups Administration
  3. Select the Groups tab (the Users tab is selected by default)
  4. Click the Add New Group button
  5. Enter the name and a title for your group. The name is what Plone will use to remember the name of your group and cannot be changed. You can change the title later if you need to. If this group should be associated with a shared email alias, this can be entered in the email field.
  6. Click Save

Your new group is now ready! In order for it to be useful, you'll want to add some users to it. This can be accomplished by first selecting a user, and then adding the user to your new group, but for this how-to we'll approach this from the other direction: you've created a new group, so let's select users to add to it.

  1. Click the name of the new group from the group list
  2. Under 'Search for new group members' click Show all, to get a list of all users.
  3. Check any users (or groups - groups can contain other groups!) that you want to add to your new group
  4. Click Save
