System administrators can create private groups, which can contain private articles and discussions. The system administrators control membership of these groups. If you are member of a group then you can read and post within that group, otherwise the existence of the group will not be visible to you.
Groups you are a member of will have links on the right side panel. These let you access the home page for each group, which will list the articles visible to that group only.
In addition, any private posts relating to any private group you are a member of will appear on the main "what's new" page, marked private. These will not be visible to non-members of the group, and neither will any of the group displays be available.

Posts have ratings, shown in yellow stars. This is an average of all the ratings received for that post so far.
If the post is a reply/comment to another, then you first have to click on the post title to get that post on its own and thus see / set its rating.
Anyone who is logged in can rate any post: just click on the stars. Your rating is then shown in blue.
Members also have ratings, but you cannot rate a person directly - their ratings are calculated as an average of the ratings of their posts. ....(more)
