Create A Group In Windows 7

Thursday, August 6th, 2009
by Diana Huggins

Groups, when used properly, do simplify the process of managing user accounts. Before you start creating groups, you need to spend some time planning how you’re going to implement them. This involves identifying how many groups you require, what the groups will be used for, and group membership requirements. Creating groups at random rather defeats the purpose of using them to simplify computer administration.

Once you have planned how you’re going to use groups, you’re ready to begin creating them. One method is through the Local Users and Groups.

To create a new group:

  1. Click the Start menu, and type lusrmgr.msc in the search field and press Enter. The Local Users and Groups window appears.
  2. Right click Groups and click New Group.
  3. Type a name and description for the group and click Add.
