Platform administrators can either create their own individual groups or use existing groups from other platforms. In order to use an existing group from a platform ("original platform") on another platform ("concomitant platform"), the s-admin needs to make some settings.


Included groups differ from individual groups in the following points:

• In the interface area "Groups & Users" > "Editing groups":

• The group title is written in italic letters in the interface of the concomitant platform.
  
  
• In the concomitant platform, p-admins are able to remove included groups from their platform. This doesn't affect the original platform or any other concomitant platform.
  
  
• It is not possible to hide or unhide included groups on a concomitant platform.
  
  
• Title and description are only changeable in the original platform.
  
  
• Users can only be added or removed from included groups on the original platform. In this case, the p-admin of the original platform needs to be contacted.
