Overview

This article provides the procedure for editing User Group Properties in Jive.

Information

User group settings are simple, including the group's name and description, along with group properties.

User group properties are simple name-value pairs that programmers can use to work with the group in their code. User group properties are often used as a way to keep track of extra information about the group. For example, if groups are defined based on company departments, each could have a departmentID property, with the value being the internal billing identifier. A group can have multiple properties. When you are working with properties, remember that entering the name and value for an existing property will update the value of that property to the one you entered.

Process

To edit the properties for a group:

1. Navigate to Admin Console > People > Management > User Group Summary.
2. Click the group for which you want to edit properties.
3. On the User Group page, click User Group Properties to open the Edit Group Properties page, where you can view all the properties as a list. Then:
   • To add a new property:
