Group '''Roles''' give group owners a fine degree of control over their members' access to group '''Abilities'''. Using group '''Roles''', a group owner may assign different levels of privileges to groups of members. Additionally, each group role can be assigned its own title for members to wear. Each group can contain up to 10 roles, including Owners and Everyone.
 
 
By default, all groups start with three '''Roles''':
 
 
* '''Owners:''' Group owners have full control over their group, and have access to all group '''Abilities'''. The Owners role can't be deleted, edited, or hidden because it's ''always'' required.
*
* '''Officers:''' Officers have broad, but not unlimited powers within the group. The Officers role can be deleted or edited by group members with the appropriate abilities.
*
* '''Everyone:''' Everyone in the group, regardless of other assigned '''Roles''', falls into the Everyone role. This special role defines baseline abilities for everyone in the group.
