**Who can create groups**: You decide whether administrators, administrators and staff or everyone can create groups. The default setting is the most permissive "everyone" because Mahara is user-centered and gives the individual users a great deal of control over what they want to do. If you choose to limit the group creation to administrators (and staff), these need to be contacted to set up groups. There is no internal group request system.

**Who can create public groups**: Choose whether everyone or only administrators can create :ref:`public groups <public_group>`. These are groups for which you do not need to be a member of the group or even have a login to Mahara to view the group homepage, member listing and discussion forums.

You can use Mahara with multiple institutions and separate them for administrative purposes, e.g. user management and permissions, and to give them a different theme.

**Warning time for institution expiry**: If set, a notification will be sent to site and institution admins this amount of time before an institution is due to expire and be suspended. This time may be specified in days, weeks, months, years or "No end date". If the latter option is chosen, institutions will not expire by default.
