Groups are a very powerful tool to share content and knowledge as well as collaboration. Each group has its own visibility and access rules.

The visibility of your group depends on the category and whether the group is public or private.
Private Groups: These groups can only be seen by Academy Admins and members with the permissions, as well as existing group members. Group members need to be invited or registered to the group.
Public Groups: Everyone in the Academy who has the permissions to view the group category can see and (request to) join this group. If you select Without Category, all academy members can see this group
Click on the Create Group button when finished!
Notes:
- If the wall posts require approval to become public, please make sure to enable the relevant academy notifications (this needs to be done from the web, see Social Workspace Notifications).
