General information about user groups

Using a group, you can centrally manage multiple users — assign permissions to a 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. A single user can be added to multiple groups. If a user had other permissions (individual or from another group) before being added to a group, they are 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 — integrate these groups into Servercore user groups.
