Hi,

Creating/Managing groups can be found in our "Learning DSpace" guide at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Create+or+manage+a+user+group

Permissions are managed at the Community/Collection level for new groups (there's no way to manage permissions site-wide for custom groups at this time).  The details on that are in  the "Edit Community" and "Edit Collection" pages in this area of the guide: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Community+and+Collection+management

I have created a default group through backend called User.

Now i want to give some permissions to that group so that when a new-user belongs to the User group try to login they have to access the permissions like when admin user login they have acces to create community, collection etc like that i want to give for User group also is that possible.

Hi,

The only way to provide permissions in DSpace is via the methods I mentioned in my prior email (in this thread).  There is not currently a way to create a new group and tell DSpace to give it permissions *across all of DSpace*.  Permissions can only be assigned Community by Community or Collection by Collection.  

The only global groups at this time are "Administrators" and "Anonymous" and there is not yet a way to add new global groups.

Hopefully that helps explain things better.

Tim
