Groups can be managed in Administration>Sites>Groups. Each site has its own set of groups, which are in addition to the groups that are managed at the server level or in an external user and group directory (for example, LDAP). The site groups can only be used in the site itself, they cannot be used in other sites or projects.
By default, a site has one group: site-administrators.
You can create a group to organize your users.
To create a group:
When a group is created, it is initially empty.
After creating a group, add users to the group. If necessary, later remove users as needed.
To add or remove group members:
You can remove groups that you no longer need.
To remove a group:
Members of the group (users or groups) are not deleted from the system.
If you need to define a new group with similar members to those in another group, you can duplicate an existing group.
To duplicate a group:
Edit Roles and Live Roles can be assigned to users or groups in Content Editor on a specific node (page, content item, and more). The permissions associated with the role are then conferred to the users and the members of the designated groups. For more information, see Specifying advanced options in Content Editor.
Jahia allows a connection between a specific website and an external group provider (for example, LDAP). First, ask your current server administrator to connect Jahia with the external group provider you want to have access to. When the connection is made, the server administrator has to link it to your website through the target site field. When this is done, you will find all the users and groups from this external provider into your Groups entry in the site administration.
