Groups

A group is a collection of user accounts that share some characteristics. For instance, there are oganizations that have groups for each role in the organization (e.g. managers, team leads, etc).

A group can be added to an Access Groups as member. If this access group has view permissions on at least one field, given the status of the document, the users in the group can read the document. This has great advantages: when a new person is added to a group, he/she gets automatically access to all the documents to which the group has permissions. This prevents you from having to modify each document manually.
