Creating a user group
Estimated Reading Time: 1 MinutesUser groups are associated with categories so that members of a particular user group can access the content of these categories. On the basis of types of users, groups are classified as:
- Admin Users Group: These groups are assigned to admin users (Editor, Writer, Writer- trusted) so that they can access the content of categories associated with the group. Both private and public categories can be assigned to this group.
- Front-End Users Group: These groups are assigned to front-end users (Members) so that they can access the content under private categories assigned to their user group. In this type of group, only private categories can be assigned to the group.
