# Groups Overview

Up to Plone Setup

Groups are logical collections of users, such as departments and business units. Groups are not directly related to permissions on a global level, you normally use Roles for that - and let certain Groups have a particular role.

# Roles Management

Roles are collections of permissions. The most common role is the Member role, which is any member of the portal. You can define additional roles, but you normally only do that when you need to create a new discrete unit of permissions that you can combine to make up a Group.

Currently, if you want to add a new role, you must use the Zope Management Interface, as adding roles is considered a development task.
