Publishing groups are the way to grant access for other organizations to consume your content for their training. Creating a publishing group and making it available to others is a multi-step process that will include coordination with our help desk. This article will cover how to build a basic publishing group with no content or published organizations; adding courses and published organizations will be covered in other articles. To create a publishing group: 1. Click **Publishing Groups** in the **Courses** group on the **Admin** menu. This opens the Find Publishing Groups page. 1. Click **Create Publishing Group** in the upper right corner. 1. On the **Basic Information** tab, 1. Type the **Name** of the publishing group. 1. Type a **Description**. This is visible to administrators only. 1. Set the **Organization** that will own the publishing Group. This will default to the organization in your profile. 1. On the **Availability** tab, click **Add Organizations**, select your sub-organizations that will be able to put their courses in this publishing group, and click **OK**. 1. Click **Save** to save the publishing group. The next Best Practice steps for creating a publishing group are: 1. Add courses (see [How do I add a course to my publishing group?](add-courses-to-publishing-group.md)) 1. Add organizations you manage as Published Organizations (see [How do I designate an organization as a Published Organization for my publishing group?](add-published-orgs-to-publishing-group.md)). For those organizations you do not manage, an authorization form needs to be completed with your sales person for the organization, and our Operations team will add them as a Published Organization. ## Related Articles For more information on Publishing Groups, please see: - [What is a Publishing Group?](what-is-publishing-group.md) - [How do I find what organizations have access to a course through other publishing groups?](pg-add-pg-error-resolution.md) - [How do I find what courses belong to a publishing group?](pg-add-org-error-resolution.md)
