# Groups

This section displays a table of **member groups** and provides a button for creating new groups.

When an organization has many members, grouping them according to specific criteria simplifies **permission management**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Only individual members can own resources such as data sources or projects. **Groups cannot own resources.**
{% endhint %}

The table displays each group’s name and the number of members it contains.

## Creating a Group

1. Click **Create Group**.
2. Enter the group name (between 2 and 250 characters), then click **Create**.

The group name must be unique within the organization.

The group then appears in the table.
