<p>The PostNuke groups system allows users to be placed into a number of groups,
which can then be used to control access and administrative functions on the
site.</p>
<p>The mapping between users and groups is many-to-many <I>i.e.</I> multiple users
can be in a single group, and each user can be in any number of groups.</p>
<p>This help file covers the administration of the groups system.</p>
