Group types#
The available groups depend on the organization type.
Primary, lower secondary and upper secondary education#
For primary and secondary education, we have the following group types:
School owner: Each user is associated with a single school owner. For primary and lower secondary schools, this is usually the municipality. For upper secondary schools, this is usually the county.
School: Each user can be associated with one or more schools.

Teaching group: A group of students who are taught together in a specific subject. Also contains the teacher.
Other education group: Other groups that are used to organize the students and teachers.
Grep group: Groups representing subjects, curricula, etc. from the national Grep database.
