Answer

  1. Go to http://www.genboree.org
  2. Log in if necessary
  3. Click on the 'Workbench' tab or directly visit the Workbench http://genboree.org/java-bin/workbench.jsp
  4. Drag the Host to the Output Targets window
    • For most users this will be 'genboree.org'
  5. Click 'System/Network' -> 'Groups' -> 'Create Group'
  6. Enter a Group Name
  7. Optionally enter a Description
  8. Click Submit

This tool will create/add a new group in Genboree. Note that the group to be created should NOT already exist at the target host (i.e. a Genboree installation at a particular site). The Groups menu also has tools for managing your group, including editing Group information, Deleting a Group, adding new users, and updating roles of Group members (i.e. subscriber, author, administrator). You can also send messages to everyone in your Group through Genboree.
