__CrushFTP-specific terms used in this wiki, and related:__
;Groups: a logical way to organize user accounts, our term for an Organizational Unit equivalent.
;Inheritance: a way to automatically apply user settings from one user to another. The term roots in object oriented programming, there is a separate __[wiki|Inheritance]__ on this
;Group Template account: inheritance parent or archtype account, that parents inheritance for a group of user accounts
;VFS Linking: loosely related to inheritance, a pointer to a VFS directory of another user account, there is a separate __[wiki|VFS]__ on this\\
----
\\
__Groups__ in __[User Manager|User Manager]__ are a way to organize users into different lists. Can manage groups from either the __[Menu|UserManagerMenu]__ toolset, the __Group__ list or right click on a user account, choose some group related item from the context menu.\\

A group by itself does not imply any inheritance of settings. So a typical group will just organize users into a list, but there are no inheritance settings.\\
\\
If you want groups and inheritance to work together, then you need to make a user who has the same name as the group, but not member of the group; we call this the __Group Template__ account. Be careful to keep the case on the username and group name the same.\\
\\
For example, if you make a user name __"testgroup1"__, and make a group named __"testgroup1"__ as well, when you add users to this group, they will also be set to inherit settings from the user __"testgroup1"__. So it does both.\\
[{Image src='groups_inheritance1.jpg' width='1440' height='..' align='left|center|right' style='..' class='..' }]\\
Please note how the Group Template account name appears in the __Inheritance/Templates__ list now. But if the user __"testgroup1"__ did not exist, its only a list of users with no inheritance.\\
\\
Using this you could configure events on the user __"testgroup1"__, \\
\\
[{Image src='groups_template1.jpg' width='1440' height='..' align='left|center|right' style='..' class='..' }]\\
\\
and then everyone you add into the group would get these settings. Please note how the inherited Event shows up as grayed out, in the __inheritor__ user account's Events settings.\\
\\
[{Image src='groups_inheritance2.jpg' width='1440' height='..' align='left|center|right' style='..' class='..' }]\\
\\
Modifying any inheritable settings on the Group Template user will automatically reflect on the inheritor ( group member) users. This makes bulk changes on multiple user accounts easy, by only editing settings in one place.\\
