User groups

User groups are entities created by participants to represent a structure, a club, an association, etc. User groups can be managed by different administrators, and have several members. If an administrator verifies a user group, then all the user group administrators can participate in the name of the group.

Enable / disable user groups

Administrators can enable or disable user groups in the Configuration panel.

When enabled, participants are able to create and manage groups from their profile. To learn more about how participants can do this, go to the public profile article.

Manage user groups

When a participant creates a user group, it adds a line in the user groups list in the administration panel, with: * Name: name of the user group. * Nickame: nickame of the user group. * Document number: can be the identification number of the structure, like a company or association identification number. * Phone: phone number of the structure or the administrator of the user group. * Participants count: number of members of the user group. * Created at: date of the user group creation. * State: state of the verification, can only be pending, verified, or rejected.

You can filter and sort this list by clicking the "Filter" button and the columns headers. You can also search for user groups by email, name, or nickname in the search bar.

Verify by CSV

If you want to verify multiple user groups at once, you can do so with the "Verify via CSV" button.
