# Manage user groups

> Organize ABBYY FlexiCapture users into groups to grant permissions to many users at once: create and nest groups, add members, and assign roles.

Groups let you grant access permissions to many users at once, instead of to each user individually.

To manage user groups, open the Administration and Monitoring Console and click **Settings → Groups**. Use the search bar to find a specific group in the list.

## Create a user group

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create the group">
    Click **Settings → Groups**, and then click the **New group** button.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Specify the group settings">
    Specify the following settings:

    * **Name** – The name of the new group.
    * **Description** – A description of the new group.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the group to other groups">
    A group can be part of another group. To add this group to another group, click the **Add** link in the **Belongs to groups** section.

    <Note>
      If a user belongs to group A and you add this group to group B, the user receives all permissions granted to both groups.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add users to the group">
    Click the **Add** link in the **Users** section and select the users in the **Users** dialog box.

    <Tip>
      You can also add a user to a group using the options on the user's account page. To view a user's account page, click **Settings → Users** and select a user.
    </Tip>

    <Note>
      If a user belongs to one or more groups, the user receives all of the permissions granted to all the groups they belong to, in addition to the permissions granted to them directly.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set roles and permissions">
    Set up the group's roles and permissions for projects and batch types in these projects.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the group">
    Click **Save**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  You can also import user groups from Active Directory. For more information, see [Manage users](/flexi-capture/admin-guide/users-setup).
