Users belonging to a similar category (e.g. People in the same department) can be grouped together into user groups. User groups can be used to easily assign or perform an action on a large set of users. 

Some examples of where a user group can be used in MDO are:  

• Assigning a notification to a large number of users (All users in a plant/department). 
• Defining schema owners (to whom the schema notifications should be sent to).

To configure a new user group, follow these steps: 

1. Login with administrator credentials  
2. Click on the Settings icon at top right corner on the Home page. 
3. From the left menu bar, select Advanced. 
4. Select Groups > Add New Group.  
5. Enter group Name > Save. 
6. Select Users against the relevant group to add users in the group. 
7. Assign Users to Group window appears. Select multiple users to the group and Save.
