User Groups Panel Overview

The Manage User Groups Panel is the administration panel where you create and configure your various User Groups. In Simple:Press Forum, a User Group is a grouping of Users of your forum. By default, at installation, Simple:Press Forum creates three User Groups for you. These are Guests, Members and Moderators. At at minimum you should always have at least two User Groups: one for Guests (not registered visitors to your site) and one for Members (registered members of your blog). If you are just getting beginning with your Forum, you can read our Getting Started with User Groups guide to help you with the basics.
