If you decide that an existing group shouldn’t have permissions any more (for example, a project team that doesn’t work together as a group any more), you can hide it. Then they will neither be visible to you nor to the user and can therefore not be given permission when new facts are created. However these groups are only hidden (not actually deleted) because it is possible that they are used in old texts. Therefore the users who were assigned to these groups still have access to these texts.


The "platform main group“ can not be hidden! - You see the "hide“-option only for the groups you added yourself.

Procedure:
|1|Click in the main menu on “Groups”
|2|Click on the “modify” button next to the “Editing groups” row.
|3|Click the option "hide“, that is displayed in the outermost right column next to each group in order to hide the group.



The groups are removed immediately from the list and henceforth not displayed in the selection list. You, as pAdmin, also won’t see these groups any more. If you would again like to undo this procedure, click the option “show hidden groups” on the left side. There you can again reveal the desired groups ("unhide“).



Column “remove” - In certain cases, you can see a column with the title “remove”. This column is displayed, when your platform uses a shared group.
