Each User is part of a Primary User Group which grants its users a set of permissions. Optionally, users can also be part of several Secondary User Groups which can grant them additional permissions.

When Advanced Permissions are turned on, it is also possible to give Group members specific Advanced Group Permissions for each Collection.

A default Primary User Group is assigned to new users when they register. This can be configured in the Default User Permissions.
