Overview
User groups make it simpler for larger organizations to give the right people access to content they need to do their work. Instead of adding users one by one and adjusting the permissions for each, you can create a user group, add the necessary people to it, then add the group to the folders where they need access and assign the access rights only one time to the group as a whole. Lastly, you can have as many User Groups as your organization needs.
