Accounts or Groups?

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACCOUNTS AND GROUPS

Yes, there is a difference between accounts and groups. It can be very easy to conflate them, but knowing the difference between accounts and groups will help take your Konvert™ portal to the next level. 

Accounts are all about information. They are a great way to organize your users and show user relationships. Accounts also provide additional details, such as the website and locations of your account users, LMS progress and other customizable fields. Accounts are most useful when it comes to organizing your portal, as Konvert™ allows you to organize the user list view by Accounts.

Groups are all about permissions.  For example, if you want some people to be able to see files in your Digital Asset Management page, but not be able to add or edit those files, simply create a group with only that permission. Konvert™ even allows you to permit a group of users to add content but not delete content, so you do not have to worry about anyone accidentally deleted an important document.

More simply, the difference between accounts and groups is this: Accounts indicate who your users are and where they come from; Groups help you control what they can do in your portal.
