# Groups

Groups are created within the context of [organisations](https://docs.informationhub.io/organisations "mention") and cannot exist as standalone entities. However, you can see all the groups you have been added to in one place under **Your Groups**

### Your Groups

Selecting your profile icon and then selecting your groups will show you all the groups you have been added to in one place. One can also view all your groups by navigating from the home page and selecting “Groups.” Keep in mind that the navigation bar is context dependent, on the home page the navigation bar will show all your groups. In contrast, inside an organisation the “Groups” page will show all the groups that are inside the relevant organisation.

After selecting the create group button you will see the options for creating a new group. A unique name must be provided to create a new group.

One can easily add or remove users from a group. It is not possible to delete a group directly. Send a request to tech support if you need to permanently delete a group.
