Groups allow you to quickly and easily give all members of a group abilities in a space that are specific to that group.
By default, all users are members of the group called Everyone with guest abilities. Users can belong to more than one group.
To assist with the management of the Alfresco administrative users, a default group, ALFRESCO_ADMINISTRATORS, has been created for you. This group enables you to easily configure the permissions for all Alfresco administrators. The initial administrator (the default "admin" user) can create additional administrative users simply by adding users to this group.
The Groups Management page header provides functionality to toggle between the Groups view and the Details view. To aid navigation, a hierarchy path appears beneath the page header. Click the links in this path to navigate the groups hierarchy.
