Subgroups

You can organize IRIDA Next groups into subgroups. You can use subgroups to:

  • Separate organizations. You can host groups for different purposes under the same parent group.
  • Manage people and control visibility. Give a user a different role for each group they're a member of.

Subgroups can:

  • Belong to one immediate parent group.
  • Have many subgroups.
  • Be nested up to 10 levels.
