# User Groups

> Grant workspace, app, form, and database permissions to several organization members at once.

## Overview

User Groups let admins grant the same access to several people in their Zite organization. Add people to a group once, then assign permissions to the group instead of managing each person separately.

<Note>
  A group is a source of access, not another user type. Group members can become workspace editors or internal app members through the permissions assigned to their group. External users are managed separately for each app.
</Note>

<Info>
  Only **admins** can create User Groups on the **Team** and **Enterprise** plans. Learn more about the [Team plan](https://www.fillout.com/help/team-plan).

## Create a group

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open group settings">
    From your dashboard, click your `Account name` in the upper left corner and select `Settings`. Then, switch to the [**Groups** tab](https://app.zite.com/home/settings/groups).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a new group">
    Click `Create group` and give the group a name.

    Open the group's menu whenever you need to add or remove members or change its permissions.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Assign permissions to a group

Groups can have **Use** or **Edit** permissions on a workspace or on individual apps, forms, and databases within it. Open `Access` to assign them.

* **Use** lets group members use apps and view forms and their results.
* **Edit** lets group members edit or remove apps, forms, and databases.

## How group permissions affect access

| Group permission | What it means for members |
| - | - |
| **Use** on an internal app | Members have **Use Access** to that app |
| **Edit** on an app | Members can edit and open that app |
| **Edit** on a workspace | Members can edit the workspace's database and apps |

Permissions add together. If someone receives access directly and through one or more groups, the highest permission wins. For example, direct **Edit** access takes priority over **Use** access from a group.

<Warning>
  **Use** permissions are not implemented on databases. If someone has only **Use** permission for a database, it will not appear for them.
</Warning>

## Control what a group can create

When creation permissions are enabled for your organization, groups can also control who can create new apps, forms, and workspaces. Open a group and switch to the `Advanced` tab to grant creation access. See [creation permissions](/help/platform/access/creation-permissions) for the full setup.
