# Groups **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
In GitLab, you use groups to manage one or more related projects at the same time.
|
|
|
|
You can use groups to manage permissions for your projects. If someone has access to
|
|
the group, they get access to all the projects in the group.
|
|
|
|
You can also view all of the issues and merge requests for the projects in the group,
|
|
and view analytics that show the group's activity.
|
|
|
|
You can use groups to communicate with all of the members of the group at once.
|
|
|
|
For larger organizations, you can also create [subgroups](subgroups/index.md).
|
|
|
|
For more information about creating and managing your groups, see [Manage groups](manage.md).
|
|
|
|
## Group visibility
|
|
|
|
Like projects, a group can be configured to limit the visibility of it to:
|
|
|
|
- Anonymous users.
|
|
- All signed-in users.
|
|
- Only explicit group members.
|
|
|
|
The restriction for [visibility levels](../admin_area/settings/visibility_and_access_controls.md#restrict-visibility-levels)
|
|
on the application setting level also applies to groups. If set to internal, the explore page is
|
|
empty for anonymous users. The group page has a visibility level icon.
|
|
|
|
Administrator users cannot create a subgroup or project with a higher visibility level than that of
|
|
the immediate parent group.
|
