EmpowerID provides two methods for creating groups, the Create Group Simple method, and the Create Group Advanced method. If minimal information is needed, use the Create Group Simple method for fewer fields and options. If you need to input more information or configure more properties for the group, use the Create Group Advanced method.
This article demonstrates how to create a group using the advanced method.
