# Groups Groups allow you to logically organize users based on their role within your organization (e.g., a "Marketing" group) or their specific **access level**. This structure streamlines administration and ensures consistent permission management. ### 1. Permissions and Inheritance Group-based management eliminates the need to manually configure settings for every individual. * **Automatic Inheritance:** All users in a group **automatically inherit the permissions assigned to that group.** You can save time by adding users to a baseline group (such as "Staff") to grant them standard access immediately. * **Multiple Group Membership:** You may optionally assign users to any number of groups. * **Combined Permissions:** If a user belongs to multiple groups, they will inherit the combined permissions of all those groups. * **Revoking Access:** When a user is removed from a group, they lose those specific group permissions. 👉 Note: ***They will only retain access if the same permission is granted through another group or via their individual User Rights.*** ### 2. Allocating Assets and Collections Groups make the allocation of access permissions to digital assets effortless: * **Bulk Allocation:** When assigning permissions to Assets or Collections, you can select an **entire Group in the permission selector**. This automatically grants access to everyone currently in that group. * **Streamlined Workflow:** This centralized approach ensures that the right teams always have the right access to the necessary assets without manual overhead. 👉 See [**User Rights**](https://support.hivo.co/client-profile/users/list-of-user-rights) for information on the permissions and user rights that can be set at a group level. ### 3. Adding New Group You can manage all groups directly within the Client Profile section. * **To add a new group**: Click the **Plus (+) Icon** and enter your desired group name.
### 4. View Group & Group Actions (Settings, Permissions, Deletion) Admins can configure information and flexibly manage member lists. This includes setting up inherited privileges such as asset access rights, system notification settings... ensure that all group members remain synchronized regarding their permissions and can operate efficiently according to their specific roles within the organization. * **To view or modify**: Click the **3-dots icon** next to a group to see detailed information or further modify its specific settings.
