# Create a New Group

When creating a new group, you will be requested to define the group’s role and select the group members, either by picking individual members, or via [SAML group(s) integration](/settings/role-based-access-control-rbac.md).

1. Log in to Finout as an **Admin** user.
2. Navigate to **Settings**.
3. Select the **Groups** tab.
4. Choose **Create Group**.
5. Input a suitable **Group Name**.
6. (Optional) Define the **Group Role**, e.g., Admin.

   Each user in a group inherits the role assigned to that group. A user's permissions are then a union of both their role and the group's role they are a part of.
7. (Optional) Provide a brief **Group Description**.
8. Add individual group members or input a group using the SAML Group mapping. Repeat this process for each user or SAML group you want to include in the group.<br>

9. Once **Done**, click **Create** to finalize the group setup.<br>
