User Groups

User Groups allow Nautobot administrators (users with the is_staff flag set on their user account) to organize users into collections that share common permissions and can be assigned to approval workflows.

Accessing User Groups

1. Open the User dropdown menu in the top-right corner and select Admin.
   

2. In the Users section, select Groups > Add or Groups > Edit.
   

Adding a Group

1. Click Add Group.
2. Enter a Group Name.
3. Assign one or more Permissions to the group.
   • Each permission defines what actions members of this group can perform on specific object types.
   • For details on creating and managing permissions, see Permissions.

Using Groups

• Groups are also used in Approval Workflow Stage Definitions to control which users are eligible approvers for a given stage.
• A user must belong to the specified approver group and have the required permissions in order to approve or deny workflow stages.
