Portal Grouping Overview

The Portal Grouping feature in LMS Portals allows administrators to organize multiple portals into logical groups for easier management, oversight, and reporting.

Portal Groups are especially useful for organizations that operate multiple training portals across different business units, departments, locations, customers, partners, or other audiences. Rather than managing every portal independently, administrators can create groups that reflect how their organization is structured.

What Is a Portal Group?

A Portal Group is a collection of related LMS Portals environments that are associated for administrative and organizational purposes.

For example, an organization might create Portal Groups based on:

• Business units or divisions
• Geographic regions
• Departments
• Customers or accounts
• Subsidiaries
• Partner organizations
• Programs or initiatives

Each portal continues to operate as its own independent training environment while also belonging to a larger organizational structure.

Why Use Portal Groups?

As the number of portals within an LMS Portals account grows, Portal Groups make it easier to organize and manage the overall environment.

Portal Groups can help administrators:

• Organize large numbers of portals into meaningful categories.
• Create a structure that reflects the organization or customer hierarchy.
• Simplify oversight of related portals.
• Improve visibility across multi-portal training programs.
• Support more efficient administration and reporting.
• Scale a multi-portal environment as additional portals are created.

Portal Independence Is Maintained

Adding a portal to a Portal Group does not eliminate the independence of the individual portal.

Each portal can continue to maintain its own branding, administrators, learners, courses, training assignments, and other portal-specific settings. Portal Grouping simply provides an additional organizational layer for managing related portals.

Supporting Multi-Portal Training Programs

Portal Grouping is particularly valuable for organizations using LMS Portals to deliver training across a large or complex audience.

For example, a company might maintain separate portals for individual locations while grouping those portals by region. A training provider might maintain a separate branded portal for each customer and organize those customers into groups based on program, market, or account type.

This structure provides the flexibility of independent portals while giving administrators a more organized way to manage the broader training ecosystem.

As additional portals are created, they can be incorporated into the appropriate Portal Groups, helping keep the LMS Portals environment organized and manageable as the training program grows.
