Folders Manage Folders Whether you re setting up your site for the first time, or modifying it, you ll want to think about how and where content creators (authors) will be storing their presentations. All presentations are stored in folders and you can create as many folders as your need or want on your site. You may want to provide each author with a Personal Authoring folder, where he or she can store content until it s ready to share. Then the content can be moved to a folder that s shared with all group, team, or department members. Or, if your authors collaborate on presentations, you can provide them with access to a shared folder and a common login. Some customers organize folders by geography or by job function, but you can choose your own structure. Refer to the Manage Folders & Groups tutorial for more information. Edit Folder Your Brainshark site includes several folders to get you started. The top folder is titled with your Company name. All of the folders you add will display beneath the top level folder. You will be able to modify the names of the folders, except the top folder, that display in your site, add or change the permissions people have for viewing and/or authoring content, and designate users as Folder Administrators.

Groups Introduction Groups are used to add and manage permissions for the users in your site. You can assign permissions to groups of users so that each time a user is added to a group, he or she inherits all of those permissions. When you access your site the first time you will see 2 groups: Administrators and All Company Users. When you create Brainshark profiles for users, each person will be assigned to the group you select and automatically assigned to the All Company Users Group. For more information view the Develop your Group Strategy tutorial and the Manage Folders and Groups tutorial.

Add a Group You can add as many groups as your work flow demands. Groups can be organized by geography, territory, function, or in any way that makes sense for your business. Company administrators may find it easier to assign permissions to groups. When users are added to the groups they inherit the permissions set for the group. Follow these steps to add a group: Select Add Groups under Manage Groups on the Corporate 1 Admin Tools menu. 2 Enter the Group name. Enter a Description.
