User groups are used to group users and for granting mutual rights.
The administrator defines which authorizations the group members have amongst themselves. In addition, they can define a group leader and optionally a deputy who can have additional authorizations.
Services
Which software and functions the group users may use is defined here. If you allow a function in the group it applies for all group members. If you do not allow a function in the group this does not mean it is disabled for all group users - the user's individual settings are then used.

Authorizations
It can be specified here which authorizations the members of the group have between themselves.
User authorizations can also be given for every user individually and by global assignment, but these can't be viewed here.
This setting can also be changed by the user themselves via estos ProCall. For federation contacts these settings can only be changed in estos ProCall.
Authorizations are always cumulative, i.e. if the authorization is given in one place it cannot be removed again at another.
