# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.langstack.com/welcome/get-started/learn-langstack/user-management/what-are-groups.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
