#### **What are User Groups**

User Groups are a way to categorize Templates that are only available to designated Accounts within the User Group. A common example of when to use User Groups is when you have vertical-specific Templates such as Real Estate, Retail, Hospitality, or otherwise. 

For information on when to use User Groups versus Brands, please read [Best Practices for Using User Groups vs Brands](https://help.designhuddle.com/user-groups-vs-brands?hsLang=en).

 

#### How to Setup User Groups

User Groups are added on the Account level, each Account can have multiple User Groups associated with it. Then, when publishing a Template you can choose to make that template available for the User Group(s). This will allow only Accounts from the stated User Groups to have access to the published Templates.

 

To create User Groups, follow these steps:

1. Click on the **Admin** Tab
2. Select **User Groups** subtab
3. Click **Add a User Group**
4. Click the **Add** button

To assign an Account to a User Group, follow these steps:

1. Click on the **Admin** tab
2. Select the **Accounts** subtab
3. Open the Account you want to add a User Group for
4. Add the User Group on the bottom left of the page (you can optionally add new User Groups here as well)

#### **MCP Support**

Once a User Group has been created, the Design Huddle MCP can find it and assign it to an existing Account or use it to control Template visibility. It does not currently create or edit the User Group itself.

**Sample prompt:** “Assign the existing ‘Retail’ User Group to the ‘Downtown Stores’ Account.”
