General information about user groups
With groups, you can centrally manage multiple users — assign permissions to a group rather than to each user individually. For example, you can use this to bundle users for managing a specific project or billing. Every user in the group will inherit the group permissions.
You can add users of different types to a group. One user can be added to multiple groups. If, before being added to a group, a user had other permissions (individual or from another group), they are added to the group permissions.
If you use federations and want to use user groups that exist on the identity provider side, you can configure group mapping — to integrate these groups into Selectel user groups.
