Create or edit a group

Administrators can create new groups in the Learning Management System. Administrators, the group manager, and group administrators can edit the details for groups.

Follow these steps to create or edit a group:

1.      Click Administration on the navigation bar, and then click Group on the contents menu to display the group list. Click New at the bottom of the page to create a new group, or click on a group title in the list to edit an existing group. The “Group Details” page appears:

2.      Enter a Title and Description for the group. The title must be unique.

3.      Select a Manager for this group. The group manager will become the manager of all users who have this group as their default group. Kallidus Learning Management System automatically assigns the manager as a group administrator for the group. The manager is optional.

The Manager drop down list shows all users that can manage groups. Normally this is any user with the LMS role “System administrator”, “Training administrator” or “Manager”. You can give other users this permission by adding the “Admin.Groups.CanBeManager” permission to the access control list for an LMS role. Refer to the section Learning Management System roles for more information.

4.      Click Submit to save the group details, or Return to cancel. Click Delete to remove the group from the Learning Management System. If you delete a group, the course and catalogue assignments disappear from users’ learning schedules, but the training records are not affected. You cannot delete a group that is the default group for any users, and you cannot delete the “All users” group.
