What is the difference between Tribes, Groups, Teams and Departments?
Tribes: Tribes can group users by areas of interest, and imply voluntary action by the users – each user will choose the tribe he want to belong to. All points that users collect within GFoundry will be added to the Tribe they belong to, helping their Tribe to rise in the rankings. Tribes can only be created by the backoffice administrator.
Groups: Groups in GFoundry segment content, access, features and modules by different users. They do not appear in the frontend and can only be created and managed by backoffice administrators.
Teams: Teams can be used to replicate the organizational structure of a company, and users can be grouped by internal departments. Teams when activated in GFoundry are also listed in the rankings listings.
Departments: the Department entity is above the teams. A department can be for example branches of a company that have similar teams between them, that is, similar but independent organizational structures. Home team can be associated with one department only.
