The option Workgroups enables you to form groups that can write and read posts only accessible to the members of these groups. The members of a workgroup can read and comment to the posts and write posts them self.

To use the option workgroups add a category parent named Workgroups (see Manage Categories). In this category parent you can make subcategories that represent different workgroups. If you are going to use workgroups make sure there are posts in the subcategories, when there are no posts it’s not going to work.

- Go to the admin panel
- Click on “Options” in the horizontal navigation and then click on “Workgroups”
- To use Workgroups check the box behind “Use workgroups?”
- If you want a box in the sidebar of the homepage that shows the workgroups you are member of, check the box behind “Show workgroups in sidebar?”

- To make users member of certain workgroups go to the admin panel and click “Users”
- Then click “Authors & Users” in the horizontal navigation to go to the “User List by Role”
- Click edit at the right of the page next to the user you want to edit, to get to the “Edit user” page (this is another page then “Your Profile and Personal Options”)
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page, at the left you see the workgroups
- Check the boxes next to the workgroups you want the user to be a member of and click to finish “Update User”

When you go back to the homepage of your MeetingPoint you will see the posts that are in a workgroup you’re a member of, marked with the workgroup symbol. Clicking on the workgroup in the sidebar box “Workgroups” will show you all the posts that are in that workgroup.
