Additional Considerations

Groups - add

To add account level groups via CSV, SIS Data - import must also be enabled.

Groups

If this permission is disabled, at the account level, the user cannot view any existing account groups. At the course level, the user can view, but not access, any existing groups, including groups created by students.

To view account-level groups, Users - view list must also be enabled.

To view all student groups in a course, Groups - view all student groups must also be enabled.

By default, students can always create groups in a course. To restrict students from creating groups, Courses - manage must be enabled, and the Let students organize their own groups checkbox in Course Settings must not be selected.

To access the People page and view course groups, Users - view list must also be enabled.
