Membership User Groups

Important: Membership User Groups and Community Groups are different concepts. Community Groups allow users with similar interest to join together in a social networking environment. See Community Groups. Membership User Groups are explained below.

Membership user groups organize similar membership users, reducing the effort required to assign identical permissions to many users. You can assign them permission to any folder by going to Folder Properties > View Permissions for Folder > User Type: Membership users.
