# Groups

{% hint style="info" %}
**Availability note:** The **Groups** feature is not available for all accounts (tenants).
{% endhint %}

Groups are used to structure access to projects (**content pools**) and users within an account. They provide an additional layer of access control by linking projects to groups and assigning users with specific roles to those groups.

#### Purpose of Groups

Groups allow you to:

* Link **projects (content pools)** to a groups
* Grant **group-based access** to users
* Assign **different roles** to users per group

Access to a project is determined by the user’s role within the group the project is assigned to.

#### Typical Use Cases

Groups are commonly used to:

* Separate content by department, team, or audience
* Restrict access to specific projects
* Manage permissions at scale without assigning rights per project

If Groups are not enabled for your account, access control is handled without group-based assignments.

### Access and Availability

* Groups are available at the **account level**
* Only users with appropriate permissions can access group management
