Example usecases

Out of the box, Drupal only allows a person to view, create or edit the different content types you create. However, you might want to be able to let them view or edit all content types, but only in a specific section of the site.

Group allows you to create communities. Users of the site can become members of a Group. You can then decide what membership of a Group entitles them to, such as access to content only available to members of that Group. There can also be different levels of membership to a Group so, for example, you can have administrative members who can create content and basic members who can only view content within the Group.

Here are some example usecases for the Group module.

Classes of a school website

Classes of a school website is a typical usecase of the Group module.

Conference management

Managing conferences is another typical usecase of the Group module.

Multiple tier subscription content access

The Group module can also be used to implement multiple tier subscription content access.

Sub-communities within a membership organisation

Creating sub-communities is yet another usecase for the Group module.

Sub-editors on a magazine site

Collecting content together in a Group allows you to manage that content as a sub site and assign its own administrator. This is useful
