# What is a Group and how do I add a Group?

> Learn about Groups in Pickcel and how to create groups for organizing users and controlling access to digital signage screens, media, compositions, and schedules

A **Group** is a set of users who have access to a set of modules and its details within a Pickcel Account. Screens, Media, Compositions, and Schedules are filtered based on the group. Users belonging to different groups will not be able to see each other's Screens, Media, Composition, and Schedule.

<Info>
  **Example:** You can set two Groups (Group 1 and Group 2) for two different geographical locations, A and B. Group 1 has access to the screens, media, and so on of Location A, and Group 2 has access to the same in Location B. Under each group, you can set the user roles (Manager/Operator/Editor). The Manager of Group 1 cannot see the screens, media, and so on of the Manager of Group 2, and vice versa.
</Info>

<Note>
  Before creating a Sub User, you need to create at least one Group. Any sub-user must be linked to a Group when they are created.

  <Step title="Open Settings and click Add Group">
    In the [Pickcel console](https://console.pickcel.com), open the **Settings** module and select the **Groups** tab. Click the **Add Group** button in the top-right.
