:notebook_with_decorative_cover: This is a how-to guide explaining how-to link a user’s title with a group.

:information_source: Note that setting a user’s Primary Group also has some additional implications that you may want to consider. See What does selecting “Primary Group” for a user do for further details about this setting.

  1. From the user’s admin page (or the User’s Preferences → Account page), select the group’s Default title as the user’s Title.

From the User’s Admin Page:
