# Managing user groups
As an app administrator at both the app store and application levels, you can learn how to add and modify user groups.
### Choose who sees what
A user group is a group of users who share the same permissions and/or app access privileges.\
Think of it as a filter on data 🔐 that can also simplify the governance process by providing the same app access to all users in a group.
📝 “My users from the group France can only see France’s data and reports”\
📝 “I want all users from the group France to have a view access to the Finance application”
The process consists of two steps:
* Assign users and privileges to groups
* Assign permissions to groups
### User groups
As an admin, you can manage user groups from the **Groups** menu in the user interface at the platform level.
#### Create groups
You can create users from the **Create groups** at the top right side of your screen.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Hint**
Groups can also be assigned during user creation or through bulk editing
{% endhint %}
Creating groups involves three steps :
* General infos
* Edit privileges
* Notification settings
**General infos**
In this step, you need to :
* Give your group a name
* Select user(s) for your group
{% hint style="info" %}
**Hint**
if users belong to multiple groups with different app access, the most permissive access for each app will be applied.
Admins will always keep their admin privilege if belonging to a group.
{% endhint %}
**Edit privileges**
In this step, you need to define, application by application, which access to give to users belonging to the group.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Hint**
You can also choose not to apply privileges at the group level. Users will keep the app access defined individually (if they don't belong to a group with privileges). Just turn on the option at the bottom left.
{% endhint %}
**Notification settings**
If you choose to use privileges at the group level, you can choose how to notify users of their access 💌.
#### Edit groups
Once your group is created, you can update it directly from the menu.\
From the menu, you can change, on-the-fly, the group app access and notify users belonging to the group. You can also choose to remove privileges at the group level :
* Users that had individual privileges before joining the group will be switched back to their individual access
* Users that never had individual access will have no access by default, and you will need to update their access in the user menu
**Edit one group**
Selecting a group from the menu enables the editing toolbar.\
You can use this toolbar to:
* Add/remove users to/from your group
* Notify users of their access
* Delete the selected group
**Edit multiple groups**
Selecting multiple groups from the menu enables the editing toolbar.\
You can use this toolbar to:
* Add/remove/change privileges of users in the selected groups
* Notify users of their access
* Delete the selected groups
