# Managing Group Permissions

## Overview

Groups make it easier to manage shared access rights in the FactFinder Management Interface.

Combine selected roles into a group, then assign that group to one or more users. This lets you manage permissions in one place.

Use **Add group** to create a new group and assign the required roles.

The group overview appears in its own tab ![](/files/Ph63z0daepEWYQihI5Tp). It lists all active groups ![](/files/2XF0kf1Bm7Z35I6UtFNL) and their roles ![](/files/cVfuaDKK4FYgURysSN7J).

![](/files/enmcHnvsrLYzSYGLL0gR)

Click **ADD A GROUP** ![](/files/dOZlcoZrhcFshT4JyY3F) to create a new group.

You can search for a group by name ![](/files/Ehk1tMw4qBIWvCgJj7rh) or filter groups by role ![](/files/UipZ5ADW4CYdVObCmdDS).

To edit a group, click the pencil icon ![](/files/afMFqoHYxlD3P4x4s54e).

> Changes to a group apply to all users assigned to that group.

To delete a group, click the x icon ![](/files/heY1jGf0d6KIgQt5tmq5).

## Creating a new group

On the group configuration page, enter a name ![](/files/Ph63z0daepEWYQihI5Tp) and select the required roles with the checkboxes ![](/files/Ehk1tMw4qBIWvCgJj7rh).

> Groups give you a central way to manage identical role sets. They help limit access by responsibility and keep the UI focused on the modules each user needs.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fact-finder.com/docs/system-maintenance-and-security/factfinder-ng-user-management/managing-group-permissions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
