+In group-based configuration (also known as collaborative or group configuration) a group instead of a single user is set to configure a configuration. This entails challenges in terms of synchronising  workspaces and keeping the data consistent for every group member. \citeauthor{raabKollaborativeProduktkonfigurationEchtzeit2019}'s \cite{raabKollaborativeProduktkonfigurationEchtzeit2019} approach, which this thesis extends, is to treat the group configuration the same as one shared configuration and to sync the selection of attributes across clients.
