If you have staff who are already responsible for particular information in your organisation, giving them access to a relevant section/subsection (public or private) for them to maintain, will save time and any bottleneck if only one person is maintaining the site.

In ETINU, you can create a group, add user(s) to that group, set different privileges for a group (whether it's a group of one or more) to write a blog post, comment on a blog post, have write privileges for a particular section.

Here's how:

1. Create a group (screenshot 1-Set up a group)

• go to Administration -> Groups and select Add group
• and a simple form is displayed—add a name, description, proxy name (if required)
• select User self subscribe checkbox to make it possible for users to subscribe to a particular group when they register on the web site
• select Submit

2. Example of the groups list (screenshot 2-All groups)

• super administrators, administrators and all registered users are set up by default when site is created—different functionality is already assigned to super administrators and administrators (ability to create sections/subsections, approve users, create administrators)
• from the list, you can view the ones that are active and in the User column those groups that users are allowed to self-subscribe
• use the pencil to edit (to add/remove members) a group

3. Add and remove members for that group (screenshot 3-Adding members in a group)

• from the list of group, select the pencil icon against the group you wish to add and remove members and the Editing group form is displayed
• add members to that group from the Add memberdropdown of all registered users and select Add—the members list will automatically refresh to include them
• if you wish to remove a member, just select the member from the list in the Remove member dropdown menu of those within this group and select Remove—the members list will automatically refresh to exclude them

4. View what groups a user is a member of (screenshot 4-User details)

• go to Administration -> Users to display all the registered users
• select the pencil icon in the row that contains the user you wish to check and the User details form is displayed
• check or uncheck the group as required
• also, if the user wishes to receive email updates, the checkbox against Stop this user receiving all email updates can be unchecked (or check if they want them stopped) and select Update
• note: a user can login to take themselves off the group they had subscribed to, stop receiving email updates, change their password or email address

5. Access privileges can be set for any section (see red circle in screenshot 5-Access to group)

• go to Administration -> Section and select the pencil icon against the section you wish to check
• in the screenshot, the Editing section form is displayed—example of read/write/comment checkboxes for the blog section
• the checkboxes can be unchecked and unchecked as required and then select Update to make those privileges active

6. How to delete a group

• from the list of groups, select the X icon against the particular group
• a dialog box displays a warning if you wish to delete stating Only select 'OK' if you wish to continue. If you do not wish to continue then select 'Cancel'
• select OK to delete the group.
