Understanding the Groups Tab

You can create as many groups as you need; there is not a limit to the number of student groups for a school. You can have as many students as you need in a group and a student can be a member of multiple groups. No limits are imposed. As a teacher, you can edit, transfer ownership of, and delete groups that you created and just view membership of groups (for students you are allowed to see) that other users created.

 Note

When a student's status is changed to Archived, that student is automatically removed from any associated student groups.

 Permission

To manage student groups, the ""Manage Student Groups" permission is required.
