They can be created based on roles, job positions, or even locations. It's important to note that learners are not limited to just one group; they can belong to multiple groups as needed.   1\. Start on your Dashboard and look under Manage Users, select **Groups** drop-down, then select **Create New Group**.   ![](https://support.atlantictraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-04-2024-08-17-57-0101-PM.png?width=670&height=697&name=image-png-Jan-04-2024-08-17-57-0101-PM.png)   2\. Then select the **Create Group** button   ![](https://support.atlantictraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-04-2024-08-18-31-2495-PM.png?width=670&height=636&name=image-png-Jan-04-2024-08-18-31-2495-PM.png)   3. You can now assign a name to your new Group and choose its Group Type: \- **Standard**: A standalone group that operates independently, without connections to other groups. \- **Top-Level Group**: The primary group that encompasses one or more Lower-Level Groups. \- **Lower-Level Group**: A smaller group that is part of a specific Top-Level Group. Once you have made your selections, click on **Save & Continue Edit**. If you opt for just **Save**, you will return to your list of Groups. While you can still edit and add users from there, choosing **Save & Continue Edit** allows you to complete the setup of your Group in one seamless step.   ![](https://support.atlantictraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-14-2025-08-03-25-6373-PM.png?width=670&height=196&name=image-png-Aug-14-2025-08-03-25-6373-PM.png) If you are interested in learning about subgroups, click [HERE](https://support.atlantictraining.com/introducing-subgroups-streamline-your-group-management?hsLang=en).   4\. Your Group will then be created and from this screen, you can rename the group, delete it, and add users and courses.   ![](https://support.atlantictraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-14-2025-08-04-42-6705-PM.png?width=670&height=338&name=image-png-Aug-14-2025-08-04-42-6705-PM.png)     5\. To add Enrollments click the **Auto Enrolled Courses** tab and then select the green **Add Courses To This Group** button. Please note: you will want to do this step **before** adding in any users so that those users automatically receive those courses upon being added. If you add the users first and then add the courses, you'll have to manually add the enrollments to the users and it will not be done for you automatically.   ![](https://support.atlantictraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-04-2024-08-20-40-5488-PM.png?width=670&height=583&name=image-png-Jan-04-2024-08-20-40-5488-PM.png)   6\. Lastly, to add users click on the **Users** tab and then select the green **Add Users** button.   ![](https://support.atlantictraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-04-2024-08-21-18-1791-PM.png?width=670&height=502&name=image-png-Jan-04-2024-08-21-18-1791-PM.png)   If you want to learn more about authorities for group, click [HERE](https://support.atlantictraining.com/how-to-use-group-authority-for-your-wave-groups?hsLang=en).
