Unit group hierarchy
There are two primary ways to view unit groups:
• Unit Groups window - clicking the Units tab and then Groups in the top navigation bar
• Units View Groups window - clicking the Units tab and then Groups in the side navigation bar
Global groups that contain units the user cannot access will not be displayed, unless there are
descendent groups containing units the user is allowed to access.
All personal unit groups are displayed in the Unit Groups window, even if they do not contain any
units. In Units View Groups windows, groups will not be listed unless they have assigned units.
