# Groups

A **group** is a collection of users. When an asset or node is authorized to a
group, every member of that group inherits the authorization, which keeps access
policy compact as teams change. A user can belong to several groups, and a group
can hold many users.

Open the page from **Console > Groups**.

## Overview

The list columns are Name, Number of users, Comment, and Actions. The toolbar
above it provides search, column settings, import, export, and refresh.

Groups are scoped to the current organization: the list shows only groups in the
active organization, and authorizations granted to a group apply only to members
who are also in that organization.

## Before you begin

- Sign in with an account that can manage users and groups.
- The users you want to add must already exist in the current organization. See
  [Users](https://www.jumpserver.com/docs/features/console/users/index.md).

## Create a group


1

Click **Create**.

2

In the **Create group** drawer, type a **Name** and, optionally, select the
**Users** that should join the group.

3

Click **Submit**, or **Save and continue adding** to create another group.

| Comment | Optional.                                                             |

## Group details

Click a group's **Name** to open the detail drawer. Tabs include **Basic**,
**Users**, and **Activity**, with **Edit** and **Delete** in the upper right
corner.

### Basic

The **Basic** tab shows the group ID, name, tags, organization, creation date,
comment, and creator.

### Users

The **Users** tab lists current members on the left. Use the **Members** area on
the right to select users and click **Add** to add them to the group.

### Activity

The **Activity** tab shows the group's most recent operations, such as views and
updates, limited to the last 30 records.

## Edit, duplicate, and delete

Use the edit icon in the Actions column, or **Edit** in the detail drawer, to
open **Update group**. Change the name, members, or comment and click **Submit**.
**Reset** discards unsaved changes.

The row menu (**...**) provides:

- **Delete**: remove the group from the current organization. Irreversible.
- **Duplicate**: clone the group as a new one, then adjust the differences.

Select the checkboxes in front of several groups and click **More actions** to
delete them in a batch.


Warning

Deleting a group does not delete the user accounts inside it. However, any
authorization granted only to that group stops applying to its former members,
so they may lose access immediately.
