Applying the Group Display Filter

You can use Group Display Filters to display or hide areas of the page for certain page visitors. This is done based on User Group memberships. For example, you may want to create a custom welcome page for each department in your organization. For the sales team you might want to display “Welcome Sales Team Member! Sign up for the classes below to become more knowledgeable in selling our products.” You might want to display the following to Customer Support: “Welcome Customer Support Team! Sign up for the classes below to learn techniques to providing our customers with the best care.”
