What Are Groups?
Groups are an easier, more productive way to collaborate.

Create or join Groups in the Community to (1) share announcements, (2) start new topics or participate in group forum discussion threads, (3) send public or private messages to other members, and (4) upload resources like documents, images, or links.

Groups can be public or private, meaning group membership must be approved by a group administrator. All group conversations, documents, and other resources are easily accessible online in a central location, which means no more sorting through hundreds of emails for important information.
