# Groups settings

A teacher can access settings for the group from the toolbar in the main *Groups* page. Clicking the *Edit settings* icon ![](/files/-MFUsyamoJcgzz4kMxQa) takes you to a page which allows you to limit the number of groups an individual user can belong to, and to make default settings for all groups including maximum group size, self registration and access privileges for all the associated tools (documents, agenda, assignments, announcements, forum, wiki and chat):

Remember to click the *Save settings* button at the bottom of the page. These default settings can be edited by the teacher for each group using the *Edit this group* icon ![](/files/YIN6EzfbesFkt3YfKOlI) to the right of each group listing in the main page.
