# 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.

## Creating a Group

To **add groups**, follow these instructions:

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

* Fill in the **Group Name**.
* (Optional) Assign users and policies that you want to apply. These details can be added/edited later.

{% hint style="info" %}
Group's name cannot be updated. However, the list of Users and Policies can be edited at anytime.
{% endhint %}

## Editing a Group

To edit a **group,** follow these instructions:

1. **N**avigate to the **Groups** tab
2. **Click** the respective button next to the group you want to edit.
3. **Edit** the Group's members or the assigned policies.
4. Finish the update by Clicking **Save** at the top-right corner of the page.

## Deleting a Group

To delete a group, follow these instructions:

1. Navigate to the **Group** tab in left-pane menu.
2. Click on the **Delete** button next to the group.
3. **Confirm** the deletion.
