Management of user groups

When the user registers to the system as an organization user, as described on the "Registration" -section, a new user group is made with the information of the organization. This user group doesn't activate automatically when the user confirms their email address, but an admin user still has to confirm the organization before users in that organization can use the components. The confirmation has to be done in order to guarantee the authenticity of the user group or the organization.

The user groups can be found in the "Participants" -section's "User groups" -section. In that section all the user groups of the system are listed and admin users can manage the groups' activity with a management user interface.

When a new user group is added to the system, it can be managed with the groups' action buttons. The following action buttons can be found for user groups:

• Verify - This button verifies the user group, after which the user related to the group can use the components of the system in the name of the organization. The user can for example add a new proposal or comment using the name of the organization by selected the account he wants to appear as from a dropdown menu. This button is only active if the user group has not been verified.
• Reject - This button rejects the user group, after which the group will stay in the system but is hidden, also the users related to it cannot appear in the name of the organization. If the rejection is falsely, the group can still be verified later. This button is only active if the user group has not been rejected.

After the verification the user of the user group can appear as the organization. After a rejection or before verification the user can only appear as themselves.
