Collaboration Groups ViewThis view is for adding, modifying, and deleting groups from the collaboration server. It is part of the Collaboration Administration perspective. A group essentially consists of users and other groups. A group may or may not be public. A public group is visible to everyone; that is, it is included in every list of groups displayed for selection. In contrast, a non-public group is only visible if the current user is a member of the group (or is the administrator). A group also may have zero or more leaders. A leader has special privileges with respect to the group, such as the ability to add and remove members. A leader need not be a member of the group. Only the administrator may add and delete groups unless the server allows open enrollment, in which case anyone may add a group, and group leaders may delete the groups they lead. In any case, group leaders may modify a group. Tool BarThe tool bar has the following buttons

Group ListThe columns in this list show the group name, identifier and number of members. If it is open, the properties view shows additional information about the selected group, such as the leaders. The context menu contains the following items
Group WizardThe group wizard is for adding or editing a user. The name is used for display purposes. It must be unique. The identifier is used internally to identify a group. It must be unique, and is typically some portion of the group name. The Everyone radio button makes the group visible to everyone (in other words, public). The Only Members radio button makes the group visible only to group members (in other words, non-public).
