## Configure who can create and manage user groups

{!admin-only.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
By default, [all members](/help/roles-and-permissions) in a Zulip
 | 
						|
organization can create user groups and manage user groups that they
 | 
						|
are a member of. However, you can restrict that ability to specific
 | 
						|
[roles](/help/roles-and-permissions).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note that administrators and moderators can modify any user group,
 | 
						|
while other organization members can only modify user groups to which
 | 
						|
they belong. Guests cannot modify or create user groups.
 | 
						|
