Blogtronix is a groups-based system. Each client installation consists initially of just one single group. In this single group, users are able to use the blog, the wiki, the document manager, and all the various other tools and functionality included in the platform. In many organizations, trying to get everything done in a single group is difficult at best. So, platform users have the ability to create as many subgroups of their main group as needed to facilitate information distribution, collaboration and content management.
These subgroups of the main group can be used to create individual communities, or they can be organized around a company hierarchy. Users may then become members of the main group and/or its various subgroups. Each group may have its own unique set of users, and these users are all granted individual 4.c levels by the system administrator. User Permissions may be uniquely customized to each subgroup; i.e. an individual user may be a “member” in one group and an “administrator” in another. Each group administrator controls which users have read, write, edit and delete Permissions.
Even though you may be a member of only a distant subgroup of the main group, you are still connected to everyone else within that installation through our social network, where you can find and connect with anyone else. You just have to create one profile to use throughout a given installation. With this profile, you can read, comment on, edit, and create content wherever you are allowed to by your administrator.

3What do I do First? (End User)
In order to get started blogging, you first need to register and create a user account for yourself. If this is your company site, then you might already have had an account created for you. Once this is done, you might want to go to What is My and setup your profile. This way when you post, people will know who you are and can read your other postings. Alternatively, if you don’t feel like posting with a profile, you can do this as well, but you will mostly likely have access to less content, depending on how your Blogtronix site is configured.
Once you have a profile, you will be granted the system’s most basic Permissions level which is a Regular user. This may be elevated by administrators at any time. Depending on how your platform is configured, this will allow you to do more than you would be allowed to as an anonymous user. These would include Navigating Your Blogtronix Site, Blogs, Using the Wiki, and more.
