Adding Project-level Groups allows project administrators to create new sets of users within the project. These users can then be assigned access to the project.

:::hint{type="info"}
To add Project Groups in the Project Administration Portal, users must have either

a) the "Manage Groups, Project Roles, and Project Role Assignments" privilege in their Project Administrator Role, or

b) the "Administer All Projects" privilege in their Instance Administrator Role.

For more information on Project Administrator Roles, see [Manage Project Administrator Roles](docId\:Eq1A2DjVyMUzu7aa-nfnw). For more information on Instance Administrator Roles, see [Manage Instance Administrator Roles](docId:5GLYXa_hFmjWoam6L6nwK).
