# Creating a Group of Users

If you are looking for a way to search for a group of Users, then User Groups is the tool to use. You can name a group and apply it to a set of users. You can then use the group as a filter on Find pages and Choose dialogs for users. This can be a helpful tool to categorize your instructors or students.

The first step is to create your **User Group**. Then you will add your users to the group. Once these are set up and you are on a page or in a dialog that searches for users, you can use the **User Groups** filter to find them.

## Create A User Group

To create a **User Group**:

1. On the **Admin** menu in the **User Group** group, select **Create User Group**.
2. Input a **Name**.
3. If applicable, select **Choose** next to **Company**, select the company, and select **OK**.

This filter is available from the **Add filter** menu from any page or dialog that searches for users, such as **Find** or **Choose Users**, **Find** or **Choose Instructors**, or **Find Enrollments**.
