Groups are crucial for the efficient running of the phpEdu application. Users (staff, students, and graduates) should have their profiles updated so that they can be easily identified by members of staff who are authorised to have access to personal information on the website. Unathorised people will only see usernames.
Groups extend the basic grouping of users by roles of which phpEdu comes with 5: teacher, student, alumnus, staff, secretary, administrator, authenticated user.
