Configuration: Groups and Permissions
From TechWiki
User access, viewing and CRUD (create - read - update - delete) rights occur at two levels within an OSF installation: modules and datasets. The conStruct OSF modules also have these standard module settings.
User and group settings are accomplished in a Drupal OSF setting using the Organic Groups (OG) module. The combination between tool and dataset CRUD rights leads to a very powerful and flexible basis for controlling who is able to do what with your OSF site.
Module Permissions
OG allows you to define new groups at will.
