Groups

Groups are logical collections of users. You can use groups to represent units within an organization. For example, a “Sales” group might contain all the sales staff or a “London office” group might contain all the staff located in the London office. You can also use groups to group together users with common attributes. For example, a “New joiners” group might contain all staff that have recently joined the company, or a “Grade 3” group might contain all staff that have grade 3.

You can assign courses and catalogues to groups so that all members of the group have access to the course or catalogue. You can also create reports for a group so that you can view the training records for a number of users.

Another purpose of groups is to assign managers to users. Each user can have one group designated as their default group. The manager of the default group becomes the user’s manager. The user is a member of their default group, and receives all the courses and catalogues that are assigned to the group.

Kallidus Learning Management System creates and maintains a group for all user accounts, called “All users”. When you create new user accounts, they are automatically added to the all users group. You cannot delete this group, but you can edit any of the settings for it, including the title, description and manager. If you assign courses to the all users group, any users that register themselves for the Learning Management System will automatically get those courses in their learning schedule.
