Creating Organization Sites
Liferay organizations enable distributed user management, providing a convenient way to organize and manage instance users and roles to reflect your organizational hierarchy. Once an organization is created, you can also enable a dedicated site for your organization to facilitate distributed portal administration. This feature is available for both parent and child organizations, so you can quickly create a hierarchy of sites with content created, administered, and tailored specifically to each group’s needs. See Organization Sites for more information.
Only the blank template or custom templates are available for organization sites. You cannot use other default templates.
Creating Group Sites
Liferay user groups are lists of users that can span multiple organizations and sites. If desired, you can create dedicated sites for user groups to add pages to the personal site of each group member. See User Group Sites for more information.
