But please note that "special groups" are assigned to *user sessions*, not to epersons. Special group membership lasts until logout and is not recorded anywhere. If you need for a new account to be permanently a member of a group, so that this membership affects what others do, a special group won't serve, and you'll have to manually assign permanent group membership. We probably should have called them "session roles" rather than "special groups" since there is nothing special about the group.
One thing that isn't affected by special group membership is actions based on group membership which take place outside of a member's session, such as the emails that are sent to members of an editorial group during submission workflow. If a user only needs group membership within the scope of his own sessions, then special groups should serve well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Technical Support" group.
