## Prerequisites
- Administrator-level access is required to create user groups.
- The users you want to add must already exist in the system.
## Step-by-Step: Create a New User Group
1. Navigate to **Administration > User Groups** .
2. Click the **Add New Group** button.
3. **Name the group** — enter a descriptive name (for example, `Real Estate Agents`).
4. Click **Next Step**.
5. **Set permissions** — select which features the group can access, view, create, or edit. For example, to create a view-only documents group, enable only the **View Documents** permission.
6. Click **Next Step**.
7. **Add users** — select users to include in the new group by clicking on them or typing their name.
8. Click **Create Group** to finalize.
The new group will now appear in the User Groups list. Clicking on the group displays all users who belong to it.
## Example
To create a **Real Estate Agents** group with view-only access to documents:
1. Click **Add New Group**.
2. Name it `Real Estate Agents`.
3. Grant only **View Documents** permission.
4. Add the relevant users.
5. Click **Create Group**.
When a user in this group logs in, they will only see and have access to documents.
