		+	User groups play a central role in what a user can do and see on the site. Creating user groups is normally the first step in setting up the security system for your site.
		+
		+	User Groups control what actions a user can take on the site. Actions include things like creating a new article, changing options for a component, or logging in. The site administrator assigns permissions for various actions to each group. Permissions for actions can be assigned at different levels in the component hierarchy (Global Configuration, component options, categories, and articles). If a user does not have permission for a given action, the user can not perform that action.
