Groups form the second layer of SmartTask’s organization structure. Group permissions determine who can view or access a group.

## Group Types

| Group:                                 | Accessible by:                                                         |
| -------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Find and Join (Public to Organization) | Accessible to all core members of the organization.                    |
| Request to Join                        | Core members can request to join. Group admins can approve the request |
| Private                                | Restricted to members who have been explicitly invited.                |

{% hint style="warning" %}

1. If a user is part of a group, they automatically have full access to all public projects within that group.
2. Guest users cannot be invited to a group. They can be invited to projects.
