Permissions depend upon which groups you are a member of. Some facts may be invisible to you, others might be viewable but you don't have the permission to edit. 
  
factline Community Server Groups function as an inclusive Group-System. 
  
Therefore, if a fact gives read permission to two groups, it is enough to be a member of one of said groups to be able to read this fact. 
  
So, if fact X gives read-permissions to Group A and Group B, User F is able to read this fact in the following three cases: 
  
User F is a member of Group A 
or 
User F is a member of Group B 
of 
User F is a member of Group A AND Group B 
  
  
Basically 3 groups have to be distinguished: 
- System groups:
 These are groups that are created as a standard by the system. No users have to be assigned to these groups by the p-admin, since the allocation takes place automatically.
  
| universe | 
All logged-in and non-logged-in persons. | 
 
| guests | 
Non-logge-in persons. | 
 
| users | 
All users, who are registered on any factline-platform  | 
 
| Platform main group | 
This group contains users who are registered on your platform. For this group the system will  assign the name of your platform; the indication could also be changed from the p-admin | 
 
 
 
  
- Self-defined groups: 
 These are groups which are built and overseen by the p-admin. For every platform it is possible to create any number of authoritiy groups. This happens by the p-admin. Each group is able to have any numbers of assigned users. Backwards, users are able to attend to any number of groups.
 
 
  
- Virtual Groups 
 
 
  
The fact creation process always ends with the choosing of permissions regarding your new fact. For more information, please read Assign permissions to groups.
