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 users. Circles can be used later on to share files and folders, added to Talk conversations, like a regular group.

Create a circle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the left menu, click on the + next to Circles.
Set a circle name
Landing on the circle configuration screen, you can:
- add users to your circle
- clicking on the three dot menu next to a user allow you to modify its role within the circle.
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
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Users, groups, 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.
**Be careful when adding other circles as member, as doing this too much can have an heavy impact on the overall performance of the system.**
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.
