# Managing Groups

In Impossible Cloud Storage, g**roups** are used to define and manage access permissions for specific resources. These groups follow the **Industry S3 policy standard**, ensuring compatibility and familiarity for users with experience in other environments. 

By linking a list of users with one or more policies, a Group enables role-based access control at Impossible Cloud Storage Console. For instance, access for group of user in the same department can be restricted to only a list of buckets.

The Group management at Impossible Cloud Storage Console can be done in **Groups** tab. From there, you can **add, filter** and **delete groups** as well as edit each group's **assigned users** and **policies**.

The **Groups** tab is only visible for root users - and accordingly, also conducting any of the above actions.

1. Navigate to the **Groups** tab 
2. Click the **Add Group** button on the top-right of the console.
