For information on Creating a Student Group in an admin account and adding students, see this document. This help document is focused on how an administrator can add modifications and accommodations to a group of students. 


Note - this setting will take precedence over all other settings in Edcite. For example - if a student group is given Text-To-Speech access, but a given assignment has Text-To-Speech disabled - students in the group will have Text-To-Speech
