It also enables you to grant the user [group permissions](/v1/docs/group-permissions-1). A grid in the Users accordion displays the users assigned to the group. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/7efaadab-fef6-4186-806a-2ca14c9ce9ea/Images/Documentation/group-users-image-32p789o4.png) The grid's columns are described below. | **Column** | **Description** | | --- | --- | | **Name** | The [name of the user](/v1/docs/user-login-information#given-names-required) assigned to the group. | | **Home Group** | Indicates whether the group is the user's [home group](/v1/docs/home-groups): - ![](https://cdn.document360.io/7efaadab-fef6-4186-806a-2ca14c9ce9ea/Images/Documentation/group-users-image-vso2f3mg.png) - The group is the user's home group. - ![](https://cdn.document360.io/7efaadab-fef6-4186-806a-2ca14c9ce9ea/Images/Documentation/group-users-image-774fysde.png) - The group is not the user's home group. | | **Group Permissions** | Each [group permission](/v1/docs/group-permissions-1) is listed below the Group Permissions column heading. The icon in the column indicates whether the user is assigned the permission: - ![](https://cdn.document360.io/7efaadab-fef6-4186-806a-2ca14c9ce9ea/Images/Documentation/group-users-image-5o9cw8i1.png) - The user has been granted the group permission. - ![](https://cdn.document360.io/7efaadab-fef6-4186-806a-2ca14c9ce9ea/Images/Documentation/group-users-image-4v1nk8bs.png) - The user does not have the group permission. | You may [add users to the group](/v1/docs/group-users#adding-users-to-a-new-group), [change a user's group permissions](/v1/docs/group-users#editing-a-users-group-permissions), [remove a user from the group](/v1/docs/group-users#removing-users-from-a-group), or [export users to a .CSV file](/v1/docs/exporting-group-users) from the [Add](/v1/docs/adding-a-group)/[Edit](/v1/docs/editing-a-group) Group workscreen. You may also perform these functions by [adding](/v1/docs/adding-a-user-manually) or [editing a user](/v1/docs/editing-a-user-manually) from the [Users Dashboard](/v1/docs/users-dashboard). ## Adding Users to a New Group Assigning users to the group enables you to [enroll the user in the group's courses or subscriptions](/v1/docs/enrolling-users) and grant the user with [group permissions](/v1/docs/group-permissions-1).
