Hi there kcpau, I'm afraid the button to create a group is actually in a different section.
You need to go to Configuration -> Datasets -> Users in Organizer:
Next click on one of the tabs in that panel, click the "Create field on selected tab" button:
Once there, you need to select "Group" as the type and to enter a label for your group:
Then if you hit save you're create a new group!
Sorry that was a bit long-winded! In a future version we're considering adding a button under Users -> Groups that will let you quickly create a new group by just typing in a name.

Chris, thank you very much for the very quick response. It works. I have a couple of other questions. I noticed in the demo site that under users there is a tab called roles. How is that created? Specifically, I would like to set it up so that some extranet users can contribute articles while others can only view and comment. Can I control that using groups or would roles be a better way to do it. Thank you.

Hi again kcpau
To create a new tab, please ensure that nothing is selected and then press the "Create tab" button:
If you want to use the forum plugin, then you can use the Restrict adding new threads to a Group of Extranet Users and the Restrict posting replies to a Group of Extranet Users settings to control which users can make new threads and which users can leave replies.
However if the forums don't do want you want then you'll probably need a custom module written to do what you need.
I have installed the software successfully. When I used the Organizer and went to Users - Groups, it said "No Groups are defined". But there is no button to add a Group. How do I define a Group? Thank you.
