👨👩👧👦 User groups

When this feature is enabled (in Settings > Configuration), users have the possibility to meet in user groups in order to carry out actions on the platform as an organization: they can comment, publish proposals, respond to debates on behalf of the created group. 

Create a user group

To create a user group, go to your user profile using the drop-down menu by clicking on "My Profile". 

On this user profile, click at the bottom left of the page on " ".Create a group". 

The window that then opens asks the user to fill in several fields:

• The name: Name of your organization, association, collective, group, etc. 
• The nickname: 
• Email: Email from your organization, association, collective, group, etc. Do not use spaces or accents. The email cannot already be used by a user of the platform. 
• The image: Avatar, logo of your organization, association, collective, group, etc.
• About: Description of your organization, association, collective, group, etc.
• Document number: SIRET, SIREN, RNA, INSEE number, etc. Do not use dashes or spaces. 
• Telephone number: Telephone number of your organization, association, collective, group, etc. Do not use dashes or spaces. 

After filling in these fields, click on " ".Create a group". The newly opened window will allow you to track and manage the newly created user group: its members, the users who subscribe to it and the badges obtained by the group. A menu on the left side of the window allows you to perform several actions:

• Resend confirmation information by email: Returns a confirmation email to the address you entered when creating the user group. 
• Edit group profile: allows you to edit the information filled in when creating the user group. 
• Manage members 
• Managing Directors 
• Invite a user: allows you to invite a user to the group by entering his nickname (@username). 

Once the user group has been created and edited, it is accessible on the profiles of the users who are members. 

Manage user groups

In order to manage user groups as administrator of the platform, go to the "Users" menu in the back office, then to "User groups". You will find the following information in the index of user groups :

• Name: name of the user group (association, institution or informal group to contribute to the platform)
• Document number: this is a number requested from the associations in Barcelona. Although it is confusing in French because the field is mandatory, its content is not important.
• Telephone number: allows you to contact the person in charge of the user group.
• Number of users: Allows you to specify the size of the group and/or the number of users to be able to administer the group account.
• Date: date of account creation.
• Status: ⚠️ as long as you have not validated the account, the user group will not be functional.
• Actions: this is where you can check ✔️ or reject ❌ the user group.

Once the user group has been "verified", a badge appears next to the user's name on the platform to ensure its authenticity.
