What are consumer groups?

Consumer groups control what users see, what tasks they can participate in and what messages they receive

As the name suggests, they are groups of users, everything in the platform is controlled by consumer groups. They control:

• Who sees what
• Who receives what messages
• What your clients/stakeholders see and don’t see

There can be an unlimited number of consumer groups and one user can be a member of any number of consumer groups.

All tools are set to consumer groups which enables different tasks to be set to different groups.

Certain aspects of the look and feel of the platform can also be controlled by consumer groups.

By default, the platform automatically has a consumer group created for all users within the main site, additional groups are created via the Select Sample page.
