General information about user groups

Groups allow you to centrally manage multiple users by assigning permissions to the group, rather than to each user individually. For example, you can group users to manage a specific project or billing. Each user in the group will inherit the group's permissions.

You can add users of different types to a group. One user can be added to multiple groups. If a user had other permissions (individual or from another group) before being added to a group, these permissions will be added to the group's permissions.

If you use federations and want to use user groups that exist on the identity provider side, you can configure group mapping — to integrate these groups into Servercore user groups.
