Welcome to the og wiki!

The Backdrop Organic Groups module is a port of the Drupal 7.x-2.x Organic Groups module which at its height in 2016 had over 32,000 sites reporting using it and in August 2023 more than 12,000 sites report using it.

The Organic Groups module (also referred to as the og module), provides users the ability to create, manage, and delete their own 'groups' on a site. Each group can have members, and maintains a group home page which individual group members may post into. Posts can be sent to multiple groups (i.e. cross- posted), and individual posts (referred as 'group content') may be shared with members, or non-members where necessary. Group membership can be open, closed or moderated.

Organic Groups may not only be used to handle groups of users, but also groups of content.

Groups as a content container for thematics or genres and books for content as example, gives an extraordinary possibility to maintain content in hierarchies.

On the other side, to have groups with members feels really like working in a company with different divisions or like a school with different classes: all are working mainly independent, but in the same community.
