## User group options
|
||||
|
||||
There are several parameters you can set while creating a user group, which can
|
||||
all be changed later.
|
||||
|
||||
* **User group name**: The user group name can be in any language, and can
|
||||
include spaces and other punctuation.
|
||||
|
||||
* **User group description** (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
* **Who can mention this group**: Configures who is allowed to
|
||||
[mention this group](/help/mention-a-user-or-group).
|
||||
|
||||
* **Choose members**: You can copy the membership from an existing channel or
|
||||
user group, add all users, or enter users one by one.

User groups allow you to [mention](/help/mention-a-user-or-group) multiple users
|
||||
at once. When you mention a user group, everyone in the group is
|
||||
[notified](/help/dm-mention-alert-notifications) as if they were personally
|
||||
mentioned. For example, you may choose to create user groups for teams in your
|
||||
organization.
|
||||
User groups make it easier to manage any organization with multiple teams or job
|
||||
functions. You can:
|
||||
|
||||
- Assign permissions to user groups.
|
||||
- Add a user group to another user group.
|
||||
- Subscribe a user group to a channel. This individually subscribes all the users
|
||||
in the group.
|
||||
- [Mention](/help/mention-a-user-or-group) a group of users,
|
||||
[notifying](/help/dm-mention-alert-notifications) everyone in the group as if
|
||||
they were personally mentioned.
|
||||
- Compose a [direct message](/help/direct-messages) to a user group. This
|
||||
automatically puts all the users in the group into the addressee field.
|
||||
|
||||
You may want to create a user group for each team in your organization.
