### What is a Group? 

Groups and associated roles are commonly used in the Form Builder and when determining routing in Workflow. Application administrators may use groups and roles in their apps. 

### Available Groups 

- Custom departmental or application specific groups may be created for you. Only ITS-ATS Kuali Build system administrators have the ability to create groups; however, designated group administrators may be defined for group management, which provides the ability to create, edit and delete roles and associated membership within a group.

> ℹ️ ### Requesting a Group: 
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ Requests for application-specific groups can be made to the Kuali Build Administrators via the Technology Support Center Portal at <u>[techsupport.uconn.edu](https://techsupport.uconn.edu/)</u> or by emailing <u>[techsupport@uconn.edu](mailto:techsupport@uconn.edu)</u>.


### Administering a Group: 

- From the Kuali Build home page, navigate to Groups by selecting Groups within the ellipses in the upper left hand corner, next to the Kuali Build icon:
- Sort groups by title by clicking **Group Name**.
  By default, groups are sorted in alphabetical order.
- Start typing the Group name to filter results and select the appropriate group:
  Groups can also be accessed by selecting a blueprint on the **Blueprints **tab and searching for the group in the side panel that appears.
- Select Roles:
  From the Group Roles view, Group Administrators may perform several actions, including adding or deleting a role, changing a group name, and adding, editing or deleting membership.


### Updating Roles:

Select **View All People** within a role, which will open a side menu to add, edit or remove membership.
