# Groups tab

Next to the **Users** tab, you will find the **Groups** tab. This tab lists all groups configured for the selected actor.

You can add groups to the actor in two ways:

* by clicking **NEW** to create a brand‑new group
* by clicking **BIND** to associate an existing Data Mover group with the actor.

Use **BIND** when the group already exists in Data Mover and only needs to be linked to the actor.

The results list can be navigated with the [toolbar](/data-mover-1.21/getting-started/navigate-through-primeur-data-mover.md#the-toolbar). 

## Create a new group and associate it with the actor

1. Click the **NEW** button.
2. In the **New Group** window, fill in these fields:
   1. **Group name (\*)**: enter the name to assign to the group.
   2. **Users**: type the name of the user you want to assign to the group. Type at least 3 characters. Note that the field is **case-sensitive**. All matching users will be listed. Double-click the username of the User you want to add to the group. To remove the user, click the icon next to the user’s name.
3. Click **CREATE** to confirm and associate the new group with the actor.

## Associate an existing group with the actor

1. Click the **BIND** button.
2. In the **Bind Group** section of the window, search for the group you want to associate with the actor. Type at least 3 characters, note that the field is **case-insensitive**. All groups matching the entered characters will be listed. Double click the group you want to associate with the actor.
3. Click the **BIND GROUP** button to associate the group with the actor.

For more information on group management, refer to the [Users & Groups](/data-mover-1.21/security/users-and-groups.md) section.

## **Group menu options**

The 3‑dot icon next to each group provides the following options:

* **Unassign from Actor:** removes the group from the selected actor. The group remains available in Data Mover but is no longer associated with this specific actor.
* **Unbind from repository:** completely removes the association between the group and the Data Mover repository. After unbinding, the group is no longer available for association with any actor unless recreated or reimported.
* **Edit:** opens the group details so you can modify the group name or the list of users assigned to the group.
* **Delete:** permanently deletes the group from the system. Deleted groups cannot be recovered and will be removed from all associated actors.

## Filters panel

Groups can be filtered using the **Filters** panel. 

In the **Search Group** field, enter the full group name or part of it, then press **Enter** on your keyboard or click **Apply**.

* The search field is **case‑insensitive**.
* You can run a search even by typing a **single character** (letter or number).
* **Wildcard characters are not supported**.

To reset the filter, click **Clear all**.
