| | 92 | BOINC Basics allows users to form ''groups''. |
| | 93 | Each group has: |
| | 94 | |
| | 95 | * A name |
| | 96 | * A description |
| | 97 | * A reference to a ''team'' (a top-level group). |
| | 98 | * Whether administrator permission is required to join the group. |
| | 99 | * An optional forum. |
| | 100 | |
| | 101 | In general (subject to restrictions) a user can belong to arbitrarily many groups. |
| | 102 | Each group membership has the following attributes: |
| | 103 | |
| | 104 | * Whether the user is an administrator of the group |
| | 105 | |
| | 106 | ''Teams'' are a type of group with the property that teams are disjoint, |
| | 107 | i.e. each user can belong to at most one team. |
| | 108 | |
| | 109 | A team administrator can: |
| | 110 | * Create and delete groups within the team |
| | 111 | * Control the membership of groups within the team |
| | 112 | * Assign administrator status to groups within the team |
| | 113 | * Only the team founder can control administrator status for the team itself. |
