To manage user groups, open the Admin Console and navigate to Directory > User Groups.

Add new user group

1. In the top right corner, click “Add user group”.
2. Fill in the name for the user group. The name is visible everywhere where user groups can be selected.
3. Select a parent group. The parent user group is the user group one level above.
   Owners from the parent user group are also automatically owner of the new user group.
   Members from the parent group are not automatically members of the new user group and can be assigned afterwards.
   You can only select user groups from which you are an owner (and accordingly all user groups below those).
   If no user group exists already or you want to create one on the highest level, do not use “All Users” as the parent user group but the root user group instead. More information about the default user groups.
4. Add an optional description for the user group.
5. Add optional owners for the user group. Owners from a user group above are automatically implicit owner of the new user group. More information about user group roles and permissions.
6. Click “Create user group”.

3. Click on “Add members” to open the user select dialogue.
4. Select users you want to add to the user group. You can only select users for which you are allowed to manage. More information about user group roles and permissions.
