# What are Groups?

* The “Groups” section is the authorization section in the Langstack application. 
* A Group can be assigned an authorization in sets of Privileges, whereby a group can contain zero or more Privileges. Therefore, the group members acquire the authorization privileges that the group has obtained.
* By default, the Langstack application has an admin group that, by design, has full access to the Langstack application. 
* A user, referred to as a group member, can be added to a group or deleted from a group. Users are allocated to a user group to obtain their rights to view, edit and determine the features they have access to in Langstack applications. 
* A group can contain zero or more members.
