Creating groups at the account-level is similar to viewing groups at the course-level. The groups created at the account-level will still show up in the Groups Menu in Global Navigation. You can also create groups at the sub-account level.
Notes:
In Global Navigation, click the Admin link [1], then click the name of the account [2].
In Account Settings, click the People link.
Click the View User Groups link.
Click the Add Group Set button.
In the Group Set Name field [1], enter a name for the group. Click the Save button [2].
Name the group by typing in the Group Name field [1]. If you want to limit groups to a specific size, enter the maximum number of group members in the Group Membership Limit field [2]. To save the group, click the Save button [3].
