# 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.
