I am the site Admin but when I use the Add/Remove Users option in the Group section I get a "You cannot edit that group's users " error for all Groups except the Site Admins Group. Am I missing something obvious.

Thanks.

I've never seen that error. I would only think if you're a site admin you should be able to edit any group except for the Registered Users group.

If you'd like could you PM me (click Write to author) login details and I can take a look.

I see what's happening. The Everybody group and the Registered Users groups are special groups. Aside from their name, they cannot be deleted or edited, as there is nothing to edit. The Everybody group means Everybody, registered users (users with accounts to login with) and guests (non-logged in users). The Registered Users group is a group that all registered users automatically belong to always.

If you want to create groups to add people to, click Create Group at the bottom of the list of groups (right below Site Admins at this point).
