37.

Mahara cannot only be used for individual work but also to work collaboratively in groups. Some settings are available in that area.

38.

**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.

39.

**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, discussion forums (and member listing if the group administrator allowed that).

40.

**Allow group categories**: If checked, administrators can create categories for users to assign to their groups. These categories can be used to filter groups in :ref:`My groups <my_groups>` and :ref:`Find groups <find_groups>`.

41.

Institution settings

42.

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.

43.

**Users allowed multiple institutions**: If checked, users can be members of several institutions at the same time.

44.

**Advantage**: A user who belongs to two or more institutions only needs one account.

45.

**Disadvantage**: If one or more institutions use custom themes, the user cannot choose which one is displayed for him.

46.

**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.
