Documentation for basic configuration of Organic Groups (OG) version 7.x-2.x. OG 2.x is different from 1.x.

Create a new content type, and name it something like: Group, Department, School, etc. This will be our container content type, you can think of that as a group type.
At the bottom, click on 'Organic Groups' tab, and check 'Group' and save.
Next, create a new content type and call it something like: Group post, group content, etc. This content will be shared on the group page, that we previously created.
At the bottom, select 'Organic Groups' tab, and check ‘Group content’ and save.

This is the basic setup of Organic Groups. Every user can now create a group if they have the permissions to create content of those content types.
