How do I view groups in an account?

You can view existing groups in your account. Viewing groups at the account level is similar to viewing groups at the course level. The groups created at the account level will still show up in the Groups menu in the Global Navigation menu.

Note: Viewing user groups is an account permission. If you cannot view user groups, your admin has restricted this option.

Once you create a group set in your account, the group set displays as a tab for easy access to the group information [1]. You can also view a group set directly by clicking the name of the tab.

When you created the group set, you also created groups, either manually or automatically.

By default, all groups are collapsed in the page. You can expand each group and see which students are assigned to each group in the group set, if any, by clicking the arrow next to the group name [1].

Once users are participating in a group, you can view their activity within a group by clicking the group Options icon [2] and selecting the Visit Group Homepage link [3].
