# Groups

## Creating groups

To create a custom group with limited access to the Exivity *Glass* user interface, follow this procedure:

1. Go to '*User management*' under the administration dropdown located at the top right of the screen and select the '*Groups*' tab
2. Click "c*reate group*" and provide a meaningful *Name* for this *Group*
3. Select one or multiple permissions from the custom list of '*Role Names*' below
4. When you're done with your selection, click the '*Save*' button to create your group. Now you can create **Users** and associate them to this group.
