With Refined, you can connect users to categories and spaces. For example, on an intranet you can use this feature to show which users work on an HR project and which roles they have. You can add up to 200 users per category or space.
This functionality is not related to any permissions, nor does it decide what content users can view. It is simply a way of displaying users who are organisationally connected to the category, for example to let other users know who to contact.
Add users and user groups
To connect users to a category:
Go to the Refined Administration > Site Builder.
Click a category’s Cogwheel > Connect users.
To connect users to a space:
Go to the space.
Hover your mouse over the Space users box on the left-hand side and click the Pen icon that appears.
