## Employee Group

A group is a collection of one or more collaborators who share the same objectives related to their roles.

The two most common uses for created groups are:

1. Management of access security/confidentiality for various types of registrations (e.g., knowledge base folders, service portfolios, etc.).
2. Scheduling automatic notifications based on specific situations/events.

This functionality allows for the registration of groups and their association with users, profiles, contracts, and email notifications, providing various actions such as adding, modifying, and deleting a group. It is also possible to assign different access and permissions to groups. For more information, check [Define Group Permissions](#).
