# Groups

Users can optionally be organized into groups under **Settings → Groups**. For example you could create a group for Engineers, Designers, Founders etc. On larger teams we recommend using groups for user management and sharing.

# Sharing

Groups can be given access to read or edit collections and documents. Adding a group to a [collection](/doc/collections-l9o3LD22sV) or document gives *all* the users within the group simultaneous access with the chosen permission.

# Management

Individual users in a group can be given “Manage” permissions – this allows the to manage the group itself and the members within.
