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

52.

**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.

53.

**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 for Mahara to view the group homepage, discussion forums (and member listing if the group administrator allowed that).

54.

**Allow group categories**: If allowed, site 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>`.

55.

Group categories are managed by site administrators in the :ref:`groups area <group_categories>` of the administration.

56.

Institution settings

57.

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.

58.

**Confirm registration**: :index:`If set to "Yes", administrators <single: Confirm registration site-wide>` cannot make the *Confirm registration* setting optional when :ref:`configuring an institution <add_institution>`. This prevents institution administrators from disabling this setting when it is required site-wide to not allow user accounts to be created without administrator approval.

59.

**Users allowed multiple institutions**: If allowed, users can be members of several institutions at the same time. Thus, a user who belongs to two or more institutions only needs one account.

60.

While this is a convenient setting for people who need to be institution administrators in multiple institutions and cannot receive site administrator permissions, it is recommended that users can only belong to one institution.
