Groups are assigned to users and to the content which they create. Also, there is a group called "everyone" where all users belong.

Users only see content assigned to the groups to which they belong. If content is assigned to group "everyone" - it is visible to all.

This feature can be used in business for the customer support use case or when several groups of users want to have their dedicated spaces.

Is it possible to hide widgets using Groups? Also can you change the karma points based on the group that user is in.. example lets say UserA, UserB, UserC are assign to Group1 can I adjust how they get karma points?
