Accounts or Groups?

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACCOUNTS AND GROUPS

Yes, there is a difference between accounts and groups. It can be very easy to conflate them, but knowing the difference between accounts and groups will help take your GrowthZone Learn portal to the next level. 

Accounts are all about information. They are a great way to organize your users and show user relationships. Accounts also provide additional details, such as the website and locations of your account users, LMS progress and other customizable fields. Accounts are most useful when it comes to organizing your portal, as GrowthZone Learn allows you to organize the user list view by Accounts. For example, you might have a Sales account, which would be a collection of user accounts belonging to people on your sales team, and a Managers account, which would contain only user accounts that belong to managers. 

Groups are all about permissions.  For example, if you want some people to be able to see files in your Digital Asset Management page, but not be able to add or edit those files, simply create a group with only that permission. GrowthZone Learn even allows you to permit a group of users to add content but not delete content, so you do not have to worry about anyone accidentally deleting an important document. For example, you might have an Admins group that handles user management, groups, and portal administration, and maybe a Content group with access to LMS modules and Digital Asset Management.

More simply, the difference between accounts and groups is this: Accounts indicate who your users are and where they come from; Groups help you control what they can do in your portal.
