Group Function
 
You don´t have to set permissions for each user, but for groups (-> Assign permissions to groups). For each platform, an unlimited number of groups can be defined and each group may consist of an unlimited number of users. And, of course, users can be part of several groups.

info3 - 125057.2 Some groups are predefined: All users that register on the platform will automatically be included in the "Forum Main Group". The other predefined groups are "universe" (all), "guests" (please note: every user that is not logged in yet is a guest as well), and "registered users" (all users that are registered on any factline platform).
The Hierarchy:
The platform administrator creates groups and defines, which permissions they should have on the platform level (e.g., some groups may not be permitted to access a specific service, etc.).

Users set permissions for the single item of information while creating or editing information (-> Assign permissions to groups).
