Each user can create their own groups, and can request to join any existing groups. These groups are used by implementation guide permissions to assign multiple users read/edit access to an implementation guide and its templates/profiles.

To manage groups, select the menu for your name in the top-right corner of Trifolia, and click "My Groups".

The top portion of the screen shows groups that you manage as well as groups that you are joined to.

The bottom portion of the screen shows groups that you may request to join.

If you are a manager of a group, you will have options to Edit and/or Delete the group. If you are only a member of the group, you will have options to view the group, but no options to edit the group.

Create a new group by clicking the "Add" button in the top-right of the "My Groups" screen.
