# Creating Groups in AgileCase
This lesson will show you how to create groups in AgileCase and explain how they are used within the system.
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Access the "Groups" page
To manage your groups, click the "Groups" button on the settings menu.
This will take you to the groups page where you can create and edit groups.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Add a new group
To create a new group, click the "Add Group" button. Groups are key to the relationships between the different elements of AgileCase.
Groups are used in tandem with custom case types, which you can read about here.
Pairing a group with a custom case type means that the case type will only be accessible to users within the selected group. This means that you can easily split up your system so that each user has easy access to the case types that are relevant to their role.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Name your group
Once you have created a new group you will be prompted to enter a name for it.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Add users
After naming a group, you can begin to add users to it. To add your first user, click the "Add User" button.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Select a user
After clicking "Add User" you can choose one of your system users from the dropdown menu. After selecting a user, click "Add User" to add them to the group.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Complete your group
You can add as many users as you need in the same manner, by clicking "Add User" then selecting the users you wish to add to the group.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Using groups within your system
Now you have created a group you can start to use it to manage your system in conjunction with custom case types and practice areas.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.agilecase.com/administrator-documentation/user-administration-settings/creating-groups-in-agilecase.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
