## Manage Groups

Any system User may belong to more than one Group, and any Group may be added as a member of another Group, as a Sub Group.

Permissions and Group Membership

KnowledgeTree permissions are assigned at the Group level (and also at the Role level), but not to individual users. Each user requiring access to the system must be added to KnowledgeTree as an individual user, and then that user is added to one or more Groups, or is assigned to a Role, in order to obtain the permissions allocated to the Group (or the Role).

Permissions are passed on to users through their membership of a Group (or a Role), and any sub group that is a member of another Group (the parent) obtains the permissions that are allocated to the parent group.

Add users to groups in DMS Administration - Manage Users.
