Add Resources for Members

Resources are files available for others to download. You can make them visible to leaders in a specific group or avaiable to multiple Group Types. If you are a Groups Administrator, manage Resources from the Admin View; if you are a Group Leader, manage your Resources on the Public View.

There are two types or Resources: Shared Resources are visible to multiple Group Types while Single-Group Resources are visible to only one group.
