Important:

This group's membership cannot be displayed with the User List macro detailed below. If you see this group listed in the Groups section of your space's Permissions page, it means that anyone with a UC login as described above can access your space.

To create a new user group or rename/delete a user group for your space, use the Custom Space User Management option in Space Tools.
New user group: click on "Create Group".
Name your user group: please note that your user group name is automatically prefixed by your Wiki Space's key
After your user group is newly-created, it will appear under your list of groups for your space. Grant permission to the newly-created group via Space Tools > Permissions. Permissions granted to the user group will apply to all users in the user group. Please note that granting permissions to user groups works similarly to granting permissions to individuals. You may also use a known user group in your wiki space by typing the group name within 'Groups'. For example: If you know that the members of the group demospace-editor need access to your wiki space, you may use this group in your wiki space. Note that you can only maintain a user group within the wiki space that created it (in this example, demospace-editor members can only be maintained within the Wiki Demonstration Space where it was created).
To add individual users in the user group, select the user-group name on the left side of the page and then, click on "Add User".
In the Add user prompt, select the user by entering a few letters of the user's name. If you cannot find the user you want, check what to do when user cannot be found via search.
To remove user/users, select the user-group name on the left side of the page then select the name of the user you want to remove from the group, then click on "Remove user".
To rename or delete user group, click on the appropriate button on the page.
