This feature requires you have the "Change Group" permission. Accessing the Groups & Permissions Page --------------------------------------- To access the Groups & Permissions page, hover over your username in the top right hand corner and select the **Groups & Permissions** link. .. figure:: images/access-groups-perms.png :alt: Accessing the Groups & Permissions page Accessing the Groups & Permissions page Adding a new group ------------------ To add a new group first click the **Add Group** button, enter a new group name, then select the users you want included in your group. .. figure:: images/create-group.png :alt: Adding a new group Adding a new group Once you're finished click **Close**.

Changes will take place immediately upon toggling. .. figure:: images/groups-and-perms.png :alt: Editing a groups permissions Editing a groups permissions Please note this page only covers the most common permissions required for groups in QATrack+.
