Circles
-------

Informal collaboration takes place within organizations: an event to organize for a few weeks, a short ideation session between members from differents entities, workshops, a place to joke around and support team building, or simply in very organic organizations where formal structure is kept to a minimum.

For all these reasons, Nextcloud supports Circles, a feature embedded in the Contacts app, where every user is able to create its own circle, a user-defined aggregate of accounts. Circles can be used later on to share files and folders, added to Talk conversations, like a regular group.

Circle roles
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Circles support 4 types of roles:
- Member
- Moderator
- Admin can configure circle options (+moderator permissions)
- Owner

**Member**

Member is the role with the lowest permissions. A member can only access the resources shared with the circle, and view the members of the circle.

**Moderator**

In addition to member permissions, a moderator can invite, confirm invitations and manage members of the circle.

**Admin**

In addition to moderator permissions, an admin can configure circle options.

**Owner**

In addition to admin permissions, an owner can transfer the circle ownership to another member of the circle. There can be only one single owner per circle.

Add members to a circle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Local accounts, groups, email addresses or other circles can be added as members to a circle.
For a group or a circle, the role applies to all members of the group or circle.

Circle options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Various self-explanatory options are available to configure a circle, to manage invites and membership, visibility of the circle, allowance of other circle membership and password protection.
