Custom Groups

Let users team up freely with Custom Groups

This feature empowers users to define their own sharing groups in ownCloud. They can create a group of users that they repeatedly share files with, e.g. a team, a department or group of contractors.

Normally, creating groups is a job for administrators, but that approach can lead to bottlenecks. By making it easy for users themselves to create groups, organizations gain efficiency and valuable admin time.

Members can be designated group admins to let them add or remove users. A Custom Group can be hidden from specified groups of users. Administration of those groups by admins can even be disabled so users can safely use the feature without having to trust administrators.
