You can set the following properties for a workgroup.
General
Name: The name can be any alphanumeric string up to 50 characters in length.
User has permission to self enroll: When this option is enabled, users in the workgroup can enroll in or withdraw from knowledge paths available for self-enrollment. When it is disabled, users cannot self enroll in any knowledge paths; the manager must enroll all users in the available knowledge paths. In addition, users do not see the Enroll or Withdraw from Knowledge Paths link in the Knowledge Center when this option is disabled. If you disable this option at the workgroup level and knowledge paths exist with the Self enroll option enabled, the Self enroll option is disabled for those paths.
