# Create user groups
## Overview
User groups let you organize users into meaningful categories based on your practice needs. Groups can represent professions, areas of interest, specialty services, availability, or any structure that helps you manage your team more effectively.
Creating user groups helps keep your workspace organized and makes it easier to reference and work with sets of users as your practice grows.

**Examples of user groups you might create**
* Physiotherapists
* Psychologists
* Practitioners who treat children
* After hours clinicians
* Telehealth providers
* Contractors
* Admin team
These are only examples. You can create any group that reflects how your practice operates.
