User Groups / Permissions

Groups can be created with different permissions. Users added will inherit the permissions of the group. The control panel automatically manages the default groups for the entire site. You can still create your

own groups in addition to the default groups. These will be managed manually. It is recommended not to manage the default groups from the site itself, but from the control panel
