Groups

The PostNuke groups system allows users to be placed into a number of groups, which can then be used to control access and administrative functions on the site.

The mapping between users and groups is many-to-many i.e. multiple users can be in a single group, and each user can be in any number of groups.

This help file covers the administration of the groups system.
