Only Organization admins and Workforce Managers can create user groups.

​
Group Managers and Members

User groups consist of members, group managers, or users who hold both roles.
RolePermissions
Organization AdminsCan manage all groups and assign group managers.
Group ManagersCan add or remove users from their own groups but cannot manage other groups. If the group is added to a Project, the group manager does not automatically inherit the group’s assigned role.
MembersCan be part of a group but cannot see who the group managers are.
Group managers are useful for overseeing workforces. They can add or remove users from their assigned group without taking on the same user role as their workforce when the group is added to a Project. This allows for flexible team management without unnecessary role restrictions.
