User Groups enable administrators to create groups of individual users with specific roles and permissions. These groups streamline collaboration by bringing together users who share common interests, roles, or responsibilities. Administrators can not only create new groups but also include a mix of both groups and individual users within a single group.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with owner scope

A specific user or a user group can own a record. For more information on access control, see the Role-Based Access Control.

To assign a user or user group as the Record Owner of a specific record, you must enable the Is Allow Owner Scope toggle for that object. For more information, see Creating and Managing Objects.

Prerequisites

Users to be added to the group must already exist within the system. For more information, see Managing Users.
