How do I create groups that aren't associated with any course in particular? My dean wants the capability within canvas to set up communities to send information to without creating a canvas course shell. The purpose would be to send announcements mostly.

@james_whalley After more digging it looks like admins can create Groups that aren't associated with particular courses under Admin > People > vertical ellipses/hamburger button > View User Groups > +Group Set.
As far as I can tell, you can enroll students and create announcements in these groups. I'm not sure why Canvas doesn't advertise it. Wondering if there are functionality issues I haven't run into yet?
