User Groups Membership

Users should always be organized into User Groups. User Groups can have roles applied to them to say what functionality a user will get (using roles). And User Groups can be used with Access Control to control which users can see what entities (such as Assets and Collections) in iconik.

You can add Users to one or more User Groups.

Users should have one primary User Group which is the User Group used to define what permission(s) entities that user creates will have by default. i.e. if a user creates a collection, that collections permission will be based on their primary user group.
