The user and group browser components create Miller-columns-style browsers that allow users to select a user or group while browsing through a group membership tree.
The three group membership browsing components are:
Similar to the user and group picker fields, these three components appear the same but differ in what they allow to be selected. Depending on whether users, groups, or users and groups should be selected, choose the group browser, user browser, or user and group browser, respectively. If the interface is only for browsing, use the group browser, as it is the only browser that can be configured to show only groups and not users.
To learn how to use these components, see the recipes listed below:
Function: a!usersAndGroupBrowserFieldColumns()
