>Groups allow the administrator
to isolate bugs or products that should only be seen by certain people.
There are two types of group - Generic Groups, and Product-Based Groups.
</P
><P
>&#13; Product-Based Groups are matched with products, and allow you to restrict
access to bugs on a per-product basis. They are enabled using the
usebuggroups Param. Turning on the usebuggroupsentry
Param will mean bugs automatically get added to their product group when
filed.
</P
><P
>&#13; Generic Groups have no special relationship to products;
you create them, and put bugs in them
as required. One example of the use of Generic Groups
is Mozilla's "Security" group,
into which security-sensitive bugs are placed until fixed. Only the
Mozilla Security Team are members of this group.
