6.1. People
Main menu → Engage → People
Your friends are a special group of people. You can share your portfolio pages or collections easily with
them and get in touch with them quickly. They differ from a regular group in that they do not have
discussion forums, pages, or shared files. If you want to use those with your friends, you have to create a
group for them.
Go to their profile page and click the Request friendship or Add to friends button.
Go to the People page and search for potential friends.

When you click on the institution name that is listed for a friend, you see a list of
institution staff and administrators. You can contact administrators directly from this page
by clicking on the Send message button.
The institution membership is only visible if your site administrator set up multiple
institutions on Mahara. Users on a site with multiple institutions who do not have one
displayed do not belong to any institution.
5. If somebody sent you a friend request, you can see the details, including their reason for wanting to
add you to their friends.
You can prevent others from sending you messages or friend requests if you disabled
these options in your account settings.
You do not need to request the friendship of other users in order to see their portfolio
pages or collections. Access permissions are independent of being friends on Mahara.
