The power of Group: Site sections made easy

So you want to divide your site into smaller sections and hand out permissions for them. Chances are you've used a module called Organic Groups before. Or maybe you haven't. Either way, you're not really satisfied with the tools you were given and want to try out something new, something shiny. Meet "Group": A powerful Drupal 8 module that will blow your mind.

Group is a tool which was built to address several issues that other solutions had, focusing on usability for all parties involved. Whether you're a site builder, an end user or a developer, we've got you covered. We believe that the key to a great module is a combination of both User eXperience (UX) and Developer eXperience (DX).

During this session, we will briefly explain the concept behind the module and how it differs from Organic Groups. We will then immediately move on to the main course: What can it do and how does that affect your work? Hopefully, you will walk away feeling warm and fuzzy inside, having been introduced to a sweet new way of managing site sections.

Disclaimers:

• I have given similar talks on the subject at DrupalCamp London and Drupal Dev Days Milan, but I will completely redo my presentation just for you. You like your talks fresh and who are we to deny that?
• A live demo will be given. Yes, I am that stupid brave.
• At the time of this session submission, the module has 1100 reported installs, one third of which are using the new D8 version.
