[Portfolio] [Using Sakai] Groups are being auto-created by lessons tool

[JOSE MARIANO LUJáN GONZáLEZ]

Hi Adam,

This might help you understand the problem, Lessons is creating its own 
groups/sections to manage which users can access each item (forums, 
assignments...) added to Lessons.

Those groups are visible in all section aware tools, there was a request 
to hide those groups to avoid confusion to instructors. I believe the 
groups that your site owner is reporting were created by lessons. Here 
are a couple of jiras that explain a bit more how Lessons handles those 
groups.

    https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/LSNBLDR-264
    https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/LSNBLDR-141

Hope it helps,
best regards,
Mariano
