The Manage Groups page allows authorized users to add and edit groups within a site, to allow organization of learners.
This page includes key functions, such as uploading a group logo and creating access codes. The primary purpose of this feature is to provide full group management within the site.
To access this page, open your LMS Site and click Admin > Groups
Group Hierarchy
Group Hierarchy affects class assignments, reporting, and user permissions, with two layers. Each group is 1-to-1, so it can only belong to one parent group.
- Parent Group: The top-level of the hierarchy; Parent Groups can have multiple Child Groups under them.
- Child Group: The second layer in the hierarchy; each Child Group can only have 1 Parent Group.
Group List
The Group List page shows all the active groups for the site, with the default sorting arranged by name. It shows the group’s logo, name, parent group (if applicable), number of active users, and the date the group was created.
Similar to the Manage Classes and Users pages, the Group List remembers last search, filters, sort, and last viewed page. A group link changes to a “viewed” state to indicate it has been recently accessed. This is saved per user and resets every 24 hours.

On the Group List page click Create Group to add a new group.
Fill out the required fields (Name, Address, City, Country, State, and Postal Code). Click Submit button to save the group
