Grouper: Create a Group

Groups organize membership. Group names should be descriptive and indicative of the group function, membership, and/or how it's being used within the application. 

Creating a Group

This function requires administrative privileges.

If you don't have admin privileges, submit a Grouper Access Request Form,  and the Grouper team will create a new group for you.

For those with admin access privileges on the folder where the group will be nested: 

1. Select My folders in the Quick links section of the left navigation.
2. Select the Folders I Manage tab.
3. Select the folder where you want to create a group.
4. Select the More Actions button in the top right. A dropdown menu is displayed showing all actions.
5. Select Create New Group. The new group page is displayed.
6. Verify that the correct folder is displayed in the Create In This Folder.
   1. Enter a Group Name.
   2. The Group ID is automatically entered. It is recommended that this not be changed.
   3. Enter a detailed Description. This is useful if there are other admins for the group/org/unit/?.
   4. Select Save. The Group is created and the group information page is displayed.
