4.1 List of Groups
The list of groups can be generated by the admin for the user to choose.
If ever he did not like any of the available groups, he is free to create a new group without the administrator's approval.
He can also have a multiple groups as long as he will be accepted by the group admin.
A user can only view those list of groups accessible by him in which he can select to join.
Thus, he can join a group depending on its defined access level of users allowed.
For example, the group's access level is 'Editor' the lower access level (Author down to Visitor) can not view this group.
Only the Editor up to the Super Administrator can see and have the right to be admitted in that group.
That's the reason why a user can not view all the groups on a list.
The group articles posted and profile are only accessible within the group.
