!!! warn ""

|
|
Guests can never manage user groups, add anyone else to a group, or remove
|
|
anyone else from a group, even if they belong to a group that has permissions
|
|
to do so.

Users who can add members to a group can always join the group.

## Add groups and users to a group
|
|
|
|
You can add users to a group, or add a group to any other group. Nesting groups
|
|
makes them easier to maintain. For example, moving a user from one team group to
|
|
another can automatically update what department group they belong to.

|
|
|
|
1. Select the **Members** tab on the right.
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Add members**, enter groups and users you want to add. You can enter
|
|
a `#channel` to add all subscribers to the group.
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Add**. Zulip will notify everyone who is added to the group.
|
|
