   * Project: Organic groups [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2016-April-20
   * Security risk: 12/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Complex/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]

-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------

This module enables users to create and manage their own 'groups'. Each group
can have subscribers, and maintains a group home page where subscribers
communicate among themselves. Selective groups require approval in order to
become a member, or even invitation-only groups.

Under the certain field configurations a user is able to subscribe without
approval to group that requires approving the membership.  Depending on
permissions, the user may be able to post content to that group.
