The default groups available to you cover many of the groups that any rescue organization might want to have, such as adopters, donors, and volunteers. There is also a "Do Not Adopt" (DNA) default group. By adding names to this list, your volunteers can see the names that are flagged as those who should not adopt. You can also share this group of names with other RescueGroups.org organizations.
To be able to view contact groups and their members and add and remove contacts to a group, a volunteer must have the role of Contacts Add. For information about and instructions on adding and removing roles, see the User Guide section User Login Accounts.
