This dialog displays for identifying groups who can view content you specify. For example, choose one or more groups that always have access to the Rich Text Editor HTML control.
Group records created through the Admin - Group Administration function display in the Add Group(s) dialog. Use this dialog to include one or more existing groups in a new group or to give one or more existing groups explicit permissions. This dialog displays with a function-specific title for all CommonSpot operations that include the Add or Select Group(s) option, for example, Group Administrator(s) - Add Groups, Element Security - Add Groups, Server General Security - Add Groups, Field Security - Add Groups, Shortcut Security - Add Groups, etc.
Although the Add Groups dialog is functionally the same, security options are case-specific. In addition, some group selection dialogs may also include Visitor Context Groups, as shown below. These groups display only for cases where it makes sense to include specific, anonymous visitor communities, and do not appear otherwise.
Important Note: It is not possible to assign site, subsite, page or Element security to any individual Visitor Context group. You can only add a Visitor Context Group to an existing Group.
See Visitor Context for more information.

Click column heads to sort group names alphabetically or by description, or refine your search by selecting from the dropdowns and optionally entering a value in the text field and clicking Filter, or combine dropdown and text field options with alphanumeric selections and click Filter as shown above for names beginning with J.
These filters are useful for limiting results if you have many visitor context groups.
