With the Circles function, users can create their own groups and manage their members. A circle can include other users, work colleagues, friends, a team, or even a school class. These custom groups, called Circles, can then be used by any other app to assign sharing. For example, a file, folder, calendar, or address book can be shared with a circle.
With the Circles function, users can create their own groups and manage their members. See the extra [Circle for Groups WIKI page](Circles-for-Groups) how to create, manage or invite to a circle.
- Members of an existing project can be grouped together in a circle: the existing folder structure can then be shared with the circle and all will have access to the documents.
**New projects**
- Members of a new project can be created as a circle and relevant content from other nextcloud apps can be shared with the circle for joint editing.
**Admin role**
- the admin manages the members of a circle
- One of his tasks is to create the members of the individual projects as corresponding circles so that they can be granted access to the documents.

For organisations, we usually set up a special organisation-admin account, who is the owner of a main organisation folder. This user shares the main folder with the group (but is not itself part of the group to avoid circular share issues). An independent main folder owner is to prevent troubles, if a founding user would leave the organisation. An admin could transfer the ownership of a folder to another user, though: `sudo -u www-data php occ files:transfer-ownership --path=“name of folder” usernamefrom usernameto`
