:::hint{type="info"}
**Who can do this:**

- Anyone with the Structure (editable) permission
:::

Adding groups and teams first, before onboarding users, allows you to assign them to one at the same time you add them. If you've already onboarded users, you can still add groups, including teams. 

:::hint{type="success"}
**How do I get started setting up groups?**

Consider aligning your groups and teams with your company's organizational structure. Learn more at [Segmentation & visibility](docId:-CEVPklxNJHPmYjvrv8ha).

This is useful when performing analytics, so you can calculate the percentage of the total who signed up for your app.
