# How to set up a user group

## Setting up a user group

On the 'User Management'-tab swap to the 'User groups'-page in the leftside navigation bar.

On the 'User groups'-page, click '+ Create user group' to create a new user group or click one of the existing user groups to edit that user group.

In this tutorial we will create a new user group, but the process of creating a new user group and editing an existing user group is the same. Clicking '+Create user group' presents you with the 'Create user group'-page.

The first thing to do is to set a name for the user group. This name should reflect what the user group has access to.

Next you can optionally add a default dashboard. This dashboard will then be the default dashboard for newly invited users with this user group. If no default dashboard is chosen, user in the user group will have an empty dashboard they can configure themselves, given they have the right permissions.

Next is choosing the languages, business units and segments users in this user group can access and whether they have write or read access. Remember to click 'Save' when done.

{% hint style="warning" %}
A user group must at minimum have a name, one language and at least one segment per dimension. A user group is not required to have a business unit, this can be omitted by not clicking the '+ Add business unit'-button
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Read more about languages, business units and dimensions/segments here: [Languages](/reference/settings/general/languages.md), [Business units](/reference/settings/data-governance/business-units.md), [Dimensions](/reference/settings/data-models/dimensions.md)
{% endhint %}

## Example of what a nordic user group could look like

Users in this user group has write access to danish, swedish and norwegian and read access to english.

Additionally they have write access to the 'Nordic markets' business unit, the currencies 'DKK', 'SEK' and 'NOK' for the dimension 'Currency' and the market 'Denmark' for the dimension 'Market'.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.struct.com/tutorials/guides/how-to-work-with-user-management/how-to-set-up-a-user-group.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
