Managing groups
Creating a group is a convenient way to share files to many people. In Seafile, you can create and manage a group easily.
Here is how groups work in Seafile:
- Each group has a owner. The owner is the creator of the group by default. He/she can transfer the ownership of the group to another member.
- Each group can have multiple admins. The group owner and group admins can add more group admins.
- The group admin can add/delete members in the group. And he/she can also unshare a library in the group.
Click on the "Shared with groups" tab on the left panel, and you'll see all the groups you're in. Clicking into any group, you'll see the libraries shared into this group.
To create a new group, click on the "Shared with groups" tab on the left panel. Then click on "All Groups". In the page, you can click the "New Group" button to create a group.
