# Create user groups

All permissions in Flow Connect are managed through groups.

Flow Connect utilizes separate access groups for administrators and end users.&#x20;

Administrator groups control permissions in the Hub, while end user groups manage runtime access and the ability to run apps in test and production environments.&#x20;

Admin groups provide granular control over Hub management, allowing users to manage users and groups or applications according to their assigned permissions. Additionally, developer access is set for individual application packages.&#x20;

Built-in groups, denoted by a key icon, offer easy onboarding and have fixed permissions that cannot be altered.

## Create new group

Click on the **Create Group** button located at the top of the Groups screen and choose whether to create an Admin or End User group.

Enter the name, description and add users to the group.

In the **System permissions** section you set the permissions for the group members inside the Hub.

* Create Application Packages: Users can create new application packages and set access for the package.
* Edit all Application Packages: Users have full access to all application packages in the organization.
* Manage Users and Groups: Users can invite new users, edit and delete existing users and create and edit groups including setting permissions.
* Manage Organization Components: Users can create and edit organization components in the application library.

The **Applications** tab is a read only view of the application packages assigned to the group.

If all system permissions are turned off for a group, its members can only access the Hub in read-only mode.
{% endhint %}

### End user group

## 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.novacura.com/flow-connect/working-with-connect/user-administration/user-groups/create-user-groups.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
