A CommunityGroup is a named subset of customers used to control who can see and contribute to conversations on the Discussion Board. Groups are created by admins and can be assigned to CommunityThread conversations to restrict or open participation.
Each group has an access level (GroupAccess) that determines visibility:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|
Restricted (1) | All customers can see the group’s conversations but only members can post |
Public (2) | Any customer with access to Discussion Boards can see and post |
Private (3) | Only group members can see or post in the group’s conversations |
Groups can also be auto-generated by the system: if a Team has HasCommunityGroup = true, a group is created and its GUID stored in TeamGuid; if a Course has HasCommunityGroup = true, a group is created and its GUID stored in CourseGuid.
