# Workgroups

A workgroup is an administrative collection of people working together to create and/or maintain a set of metadata for a specific purpose. Workgroups exist within Stewardship Organisations, and have their own roles (Managers, Stewards, Submitters and Viewers).

## Workgroup functionality

Workgroups:

* Can be [created and managed](/administrator-tasks/workgroups/creating-and-managing-workgroups.md)
* Contain:
  * Metadata items
  * [Discussions](/administrator-tasks/workgroups/discussions.md)
  * [Issues](/collaborating-within-the-registry/issues-and-change-requests/creating-an-issue.md)
  * [Reviews](/collaborating-within-the-registry/opening-a-review.md).
