<span style="color: #333333">A </span>User Group allows Users with the same access requirements to be grouped together by assigning their User ID to User Group(s). When new Frameworks modules are released, you will need to add these menu items and activities to the required user groups for your users to access. 

This process explains how to update and maintain user security groups
