# Groups

A group in the Marketplace Platform represents a set of users who share the same roles and permissions, allowing admins to manage permissions of multiple users at once, instead of configuring each user individually.

Users can belong to multiple groups within the same account; for example, a user can be a member of both the Administrator and Finance groups. They can also have different roles across different accounts, such as being an Operations user in one account and an Administrator in another. Before a user can be added to a group, they must already belong to the account; otherwise, their access to the Marketplace Platform is restricted. Permissions in each account are determined by the user’s group memberships.

### Accessing groups

The **Groups** page allows account administrators to perform tasks, such as adding new groups and managing existing groups. Administrators can also modify or delete a group permanently if it's no longer needed. 

To navigate to the **Groups** page, select the main menu, then choose **Settings** > **Groups**. The list of groups is displayed, as shown in the following image:

On the **Groups** page, you can manage a group from the **Actions** column and select a group to view detailed information organized across several tabs.&#x20;

The information available includes a list of users within the group, modules that the group members can access, a record of events and logs for the group, and more. For details, see [View groups](https://docs.platform.softwareone.com/modules-and-features/settings/groups/view-groups).
