Many organizations find it helpful to create groups for:
- Each team, e.g., “mobile”, “design”, or “IT”.
- Leadership roles, e.g., “managers”, “engineering-leads”.
- Leadership roles, e.g., “managers”, “engineering-managers”.

You can add a group to another user group, making it easy to express your
organization's structure in Zulip's permissions system. A user who belongs to a
subgroup of a group is treated as a member of that group. For example:
- The “engineering” group could be made up of “engineering-managers” and
“engineering-staff”.
- The “managers” group could be made up of “engineering-managers”,
“design-managers”, etc.
Updating the members of a group automatically updates the members of all the
groups that contain it. In the above example, adding a new team member to
“engineering-managers” automatically adds them to “engineering” and “managers”
as well. Removing a team member who transferred automatically removes them.

## Add groups and users to a group
You can add users to a group, or add a group to any other group. Nesting groups
makes them easier to maintain. For example, moving a user from one team group to
another can automatically update what department group they belong to.
