At the very beginning the following two system groups are automatically available on your platform:
| Universe |
Everyone! That is to say users who are logged in and users who are not logged in. (It is not possible to assign users to this group. Therefore, you do not see it in the group overview of the p-admin interface.) |
| Platform Main Group |
Each user who registers on your platform is automatically added to this group. The name of your platform is automatically assigned to the group name (e.g. "my platform main group"). The name can be adapted by the p-admin. |
