# User groups
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
individually mentioned.
|
|
|
|
Note that user groups are not the same as group direct messages. If you're
|
|
trying to send a message to a group of people, you'll want to either
|
|
[create a stream](/help/create-a-stream), or send a
|
|
[group direct message](/help/direct-messages).
|
|
|
|
### Create a user group
|
|
|
|
{!how-to-create-a-user-group.md!}
|
|
|
|
### Modify a user group
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|user-groups-admin}
|
|
|
|
1. Find the group.
|
|
|
|
1. Click on the group name or description to edit.
|
|
|
|
1. Add or remove users (including yourself). Click outside the box
|
|
to save. Zulip will notify everyone who is added or removed.
|
|
|
|
!!! warn ""
|
|
**Note**: If you remove yourself from a user group, you
|
|
may no longer have permission to modify the user group.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
### Delete a user group
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|user-groups-admin}
|
|
|
|
1. Find the group.
|
|
|
|
1. Click the **trash** (<i class="fa fa-trash-o"></i>) icon in the top
|
|
right corner of the user group.
|
|
|
|
1. Approve by clicking **Confirm**.
|
|
|
|
!!! warn ""
|
|
**Note**: Deleting a user group cannot be undone by anyone.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
### Configure who can create and manage user groups
|
|
|
|
{!admin-only.md!}
|
|
|
|
By default, [all members](/help/roles-and-permissions) in a Zulip
|
|
organization can create user groups and manage user groups that they
|
|
are a member of. However, you can restrict that ability to specific
|
|
[roles](/help/roles-and-permissions).
|
|
|
|
Note that administrators and moderators can modify any user group,
|
|
while other organization members can only modify user groups to which
|
|
they belong. Guests cannot modify or create user groups.
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|organization-permissions}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Other permissions**, configure **Who can create and manage user groups**.
|
|
|
|
