Overview of social group permissions
Social group permissions are designed as a way to manage whether people can see or create social groups.
A user with access to create a social group can set the group's level of access and which content types are allowed in the group.
Fastpath:
Permissions for each content type in a social group, however, are not configurable. They're essentially unlimited (such as read, create, comment, or attach file). Projects created inside a social group inherit these permissions.
Note: You should select View social group when granting access to create
groups. Without that permission, users are not able to see aspects of the user interface through which
they can create groups.
The following table lists the permissions for social groups.
| Permission | Access granted |
|---|---|
| View social group | See the group feature and read all visible social groups. This is a general visibility option for groups. It must be selected in order for users to choose Group from the New menu in the user interface. |
| Create group (public) | Create a new a public or members only social group. |
| Create group (private) | Create a new private or secret (also known as private unlisted) social group. |
| Manage social group | Manage any social groups. |
| Create externally accessible group | Create private and secret (also known as private unlisted) social groups that are accessible to invited external contributors. |
