Groups
Administrators set up and assign members to groups to control access to content. A single user can belong to many groups but access to a particular location or feature can only be assigned to one group at a time.
By default, every account has a group called "Everyone" that contains every user in the account; this group cannot be modified or deleted. The "Administrators Only" group automatically includes every level 9 and 10 user, and cannot be modified or deleted.
