# User group management

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Windows" %}
User groups in Remote Desktop Manager manage multiple users at the same time by grouping them. The management of permissions granted to user groups is quite similar to the corresponding notions for users, but instead of a single user, they apply to all users to which you have assigned the user groups.

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is only available for [Devolutions Server and Devolutions Cloud](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/workspaces/workspace-types/native-workspaces/).
{% endhint %}

#### User groups in Devolutions Server

User groups in Devolutions Server are in fact links to Active Directory groups. By leveraging Active Directory integration you can easily define access rights for all domain users in your organization. Once a domain user log in the Devolutions Server workspace, their user account will be created if needed and users rights will be controlled by the defined groups.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Unsecured group permissions (the ones above the grid) are ignored. They must be set for each user individually.
{% endhint %}

### Create user groups

User Groups in Remote Desktop Manager are mainly used to group users. You can assign multiple user groups to each user. The end result is the union of all permissions given to the user groups.

To create a user groups, in the ***User and security management*** window, click the ***Add user group*** button in the ***User groups*** section. From the same menu, you can also edit, assign users, delete, or refresh.
