# Groups

**Q:** What is a group?\
**A:** Groups are a set of devices organized by users to generate dashboards with group widgets that collect data from the defined devices, apply adaptive configurations, or set rules. Additionally, users can be assigned to specific groups, limiting their access to only the devices within the assigned group.

***

**Q:** What is a Sub-group?\
**A:** Subgroups are used to further organize devices within a main group. They allow for more granular control and management of devices, enabling users to apply specific configurations, rules, or dashboards to a smaller set of devices within a group.

***

**Q:** How to assign devices to a Group?\
**A:** After creating the group using the Create icon on the group page, edit the new group and add devices by selecting them from a simple checkbox list.
