# Create Group

> Create a group to organise users or consultants in your organisation

Groups let you organise users or consultants (for example by department or role). You can then assign permissions or filter views by group.\
Users will be able to see each other's records when they're in the same group. If they are not in the same group, they won't be able to.

  <Step title="Create a group">
    To create a group you need organisation admin permissions.

  <Step title="Using groups">
    Once a group exists, a group admin can assign users to it and use it to filter the dashboard (for example by consultant or team).
