Group Types

Group types let administrators categorize similar groups together.

Group Types assign a specific description to a group, which can be used to categorize similar groups together. There's a maximum of 12 group types. There are six default group types, which you can edit if needed, and up to six more user-created types.

When searching for a group, you can use the Group Type filter option to return groups in the same group type.

Only one group type can be assigned to a group at a time. Edit a group's details to remove or change its group type.
