Each ParaChat Server includes a Group that is created for you. This Group name is called "community". Group profiles
contain the configuration information for the chat Group. Group profiles are located in the "groups" directory
(...\ParaChat\ParaChat450\groups\groupname.profile) of your ParaChat Server. A Group profile is automatically created in the
"groups" directory when you create new ParaChat Group. Below is a listing of important Group configuration parameters,
and their function.
Group profile files are simple text files that can be edited using a text editor. Please note that any change to a Group
profile requires that the information cached in the chat server be cleared before the changes take effect. To "reread" the
most current Group profile configuration, simply log into the chat room that you edited using your admin name and password,
and then type the following command: /room reread
