### Creating and Managing Groups <a href="#creating-and-managing-groups" id="creating-and-managing-groups"></a>

#### **Add a New Group**

To create a new group:

1. Use the **form** to enter the **group name**.
2. **Select at least one user** to be added to the group (a group cannot be created without users).
3. Click **Save** to create the group.

> **Note:** If a group is created without any users, it will be automatically deleted.

#### **Selecting Users for Groups**

* Use the **checkbox** next to each user's name to add them to a group.
* Users can be in **multiple groups**.

### Important Considerations <a href="#important-considerations" id="important-considerations"></a>

* **Users without a group** are visible to everyone and can see everyone.
* Only **admins** can access the group management page.
* Users in different groups can be accessed via a **direct URL**, but they **cannot be viewed through the app interface**.
* Always **save changes** after updating the permissions grid to ensure proper configuration.
