## 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.
