The Groups Settings page in Cadence allows you to control whether attendees can create their own groups or if group creation is restricted to administrators only. From the Groups Menu › Settings section, you can toggle this permission to maintain the right balance between collaboration and control for your event.
When to use
When determining who can create groups in your event
When encouraging attendee-led collaboration through self-organized groups
When restricting group creation to maintain administrative control
When preparing your event's collaboration strategy
You must have System Administrator or Event Manager permissions to modify Groups settings.
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
Navigate to your event dashboard.
Select "Groups" from the left sidebar menu.
Click on "Settings" in the submenu that appears.
Locate the "Allow Users to Create Groups" setting.
When enabled, this setting allows regular attendees to create their own groups based on shared interests or needs.
Toggle the setting ON to allow attendees to create groups.
If you disable this setting, only administrators will be able to create groups, which may limit spontaneous collaboration among attendees.
Click "Save" to apply your changes.
Verify that a confirmation message appears indicating your settings have been saved.
Troubleshooting
If your changes don't take effect:
Verify you have the correct permissions (System Administrator or Event Manager)
Refresh the page and try saving again
Check if the Groups feature is included in your Cadence license type
