# User groups

> Assign permissions to users in bulk with user groups.

<Note>
  **Organization Admin** permissions are required to manage user groups.
</Note>

User groups let you manage permissions for multiple users at once instead of configuring each user individually.

## Creating user groups

<Tip>
  User groups can also be created through the [API](/api/user-groups/create-user-group) and some [SCIM integrations](/administration/authentication).
</Tip>

1. Navigate to **Settings > Groups**.
2. Click **New Group**.
3. Enter a **Name** for the group. You can also add a description.
4. Click **Save** to create the group.

After the group is created, you'll be redirected to the group's **Members** tab where you can [add users](#adding-users-to-groups).

## Managing group members

Users can be added to and removed from groups manually, through the [API](/api/user-groups) or some [SCIM integrations](/administration/authentication).

### Adding users to groups

<Tip>
  A user's group membership is also available as the `omni_user_groups` [user attribute](/administration/users/attributes#default-system-user-attributes), which can be used for data-level permissioning.
</Tip>

1. Navigate to **Settings > Groups**.
2. Click the group you want to work with.
3. In the group's **Members** tab, click **Add Members**.
4. Search for and select users in the modal, then click **Add**.

### Viewing a user's group memberships

To view all the groups that a user is a member of, use the [**Groups tab** in the user's settings](/administration/users/settings#groups).

### Removing users from groups

When a user is removed from a group, they lose any [permissions that were granted through that group](#assigning-permissions-to-groups). Users can be re-added as group members if needed.

1. Navigate to **Settings > Groups**.
2. Click the group you want to work with.
3. In the group's **Members** tab, locate the user you want to remove.
4. Click **Remove from group**.

## Assigning permissions to groups

Access to connections, models, and content can be granted to an entire user group at once. Connection roles are assigned per-connection in the connection's settings, while content access is granted by sharing documents and folders directly with the group.

### Assigning connection roles

1. Navigate to **Settings > Connections** and open the connection you want to work with.
2. Click the **Permissions** tab and scroll to **Connection Roles**.
3. In the **Groups** view, locate the group you want to grant permissions to.
4. Use the **Access** dropdown to change the group's role. If [custom roles](/administration/users/custom-roles) are defined, they will display as options in the dropdown.

</Frame>

### Assigning content roles

To grant access to documents and folders, share the content with the group. See [Content sharing](/share#users-and-user-groups) for details.

## Deleting user groups

<Warning>
  Deleting a user group is not reversible. Group members will lose any connection roles and content access that were granted through the group.
</Warning>

1. Navigate to **Settings > Groups**.
2. Click the <Icon icon="ellipsis-vertical" iconType="solid" /> icon in the user group's row.
3. When prompted, click **Yes, Delete** to confirm.

You can also delete a group by opening its **Settings** tab and clicking the **Delete** button.
