Tags are divided into tag groups, which are topic-related groups of tags. No global tag groups are defined and each tag group is bound to a particular site. Tag groups can be created and managed by the global administrator in Site Manager -> Development -> Tag groups. You can Edit (Edit) or Delete (Delete) the listed tag groups in this section.

If you want to allow users to tag documents, at least one tag group must be defined.
