    I am wondering if Tiki supports multi-user group or not. Meaning a user can belong to multiple group at the same time. And how can I do this? Thank you.

    Yes, a user can belong to more than one group. Just add the user to as many groups as you want on the Admin Users page (tiki-adminusers.php).

    But can a group has its own admin? I mean as a global admin, I do not want to do this every time when a new user registers or moves to a new group.

    There are two sorts of groups already set up for giving out "powers." One is the admin group and the other is something like "trusted member" which gives them much of the ability of an admin. You can add anyone to these groups.

    You could create a groupleader groupand designate what abilities thatthe members of that group have. Unfortunately, I think that the groupleader cannot be limited to those abilities to just that one group.

    Spiegel, thank you. But I'm not so sure that I get it right. Says, if I am a global admin. I have two user groups under my Tiki, i.e. group1 and group2. How would you set up group leader to group1 and group2 and what priviledge would they have? If you could illustrate more, that'd be great. Thank you again.

    Assuming you got the same set-up that I did a few days ago, try /tikiwiki/tiki-admingroups.php on your site while logged in as admin. You can see four groups there. Just assign your groupleaders to "Editors."

    As I said before, though, I do not know how to differentiate between "group1" and "group2." It appears that your site is always one group as far as access goes. That is, you can break your site down into groups and categories, but you cannot restrict the actions of one group with regard to the other groups' information without also restricting the actions of a group upon its own information.

    As far as the abilities go, you can look at the "Editors" group and see their permissions. You would probably want to assign the leaders of each group to Editors rather than create another "groupleader" group or two.

    I hope I am wrong, but it is likely that I am not. Please correct me, someone, if I am mistaken.

    These 2 groups are only created when you use some profiles at the installation time. (ex: Basic Enabled)

    There is no support of group leader. To simulate that you have a couple of solutions . One of them
    Create 2 groups group1 and group1Admin. Group1 will include all the perms you want. Group1admin will include group1 and some additional permissions (ex: tiki_p_admin_users for adding user in your group)

    Upon a new user registration, can user in group1Admin has a right to assign the new registered user to group1? Please let me know. Thank you.
