# How to manage user groups

User groups provide advantages for system management, particularly in terms of security and operational efficiency. Access groups allow for rapid implementation of security policies and access changes, as any change to the group is automatically applied to all members.

## Register a user group

1. On Segura™, in the navigation bar, hover over the **Products menu** and select **Settings**.
2. In the side menu, select **User Management > User Group**.
3. In the **User Group** report, click **New user group** button.
4. The **User Group** screen will open, where you should fill in the data to register a new user group.

### Settings tab

1. **Name**: fill in with a name for the user group.
2. **Status**: select **Enabled** to create an active user group.
3. **Description**: fill in with a description of the user group.
4. Click **Continue**.

### Users tab

1. Click on the **Add** button next to the word **Users** to open the **Users** modal.
2. In the modal, select the users who will be part of the user group. The fields in the modal's top bar allow you to filter the results.
3. Click **Add**.
4. Click **Continue**.

### Access group tab

1. Click **Add** button next to the word **Groups** to open the **Access Groups** modal.
