How can i create a group user account in single user account? I couldn't find a way to create a group account so that the work of the group could be recognized. Is there any option to solve this problem that a group work together in single user account and also individual person's contribution can be seen.

OSM doesn't have group accounts but it is not unusual for groups of people, e.g. a school class, to share one account. If you want to be able to identify the contributions of individuals in such a scenario, you could ask them to put their initials (or some other code) into the changeset comment when uploading changes.

Another option (see Frederik's answer for the other) is to append the group's name to the single user names (like a tag). So a list of user names of a group with the short form "ABC" would be for example:

  • Max Oner (ABC)
  • Betsie Miller (ABC)
  • Jim Doe (ABC)
  • Anna Smithers (ABC)

Then you would have contribution lists for each single account - but no combined contribution list, of course.
