  • Group - A Group is a named collection of Contacts (and their associated Principals). In many ways groups will look and feel very similar to the more general notion of Item Collection. For example, you can put a group in the Sidebar to make it easy to get to. However, a group is a special kind of collection. A group differs from a collection, because:
    • you can share items with the group, and assign permissions to the group almost as if it were a contact
    • you can go beyond just specifying which contact items are in the group, by also specifying, for each contact, which email address, or sharing address to use for that contact in the context of this group
    • a group can only contain contact items, not any kind of Content Item
