OVERVIEW
This article outlines the different privileges available in SFU Groups and explains how to assign them to your group members.
Understanding Privileges
SFU Groups supports two main types of groups:
- Exchange Distribution Groups, utilized for email distribution
- Security Groups, utilized for access to services and resources
Each group type has privileges that determine how users can interact with and manage the group. The following table explains privileges in SFU Groups:
