# How to create a group in GitLab
Your projects in GitLab can be organized in 2 different ways:
under your own namespace for single projects, such as `your-name/project-1` or
under groups.
If you organize your projects under a group, it works like a folder. You can
manage your group members' permissions and access to the projects.
---
To create a group:
1. Expand the left sidebar by clicking the three bars at the upper left corner
and then navigate to **Groups**.

1. Once in your groups dashboard, click on **New group**.

1. Fill out the needed information:
1. Set the "Group path" which will be the namespace under which your projects
will be hosted (path can contain only letters, digits, underscores, dashes
and dots; it cannot start with dashes or end in dot).
1. Optionally, you can add a description so that others can briefly understand
what this group is about.
1. Optionally, choose and avatar for your project.
1. Choose the [visibility level](../public_access/public_access.md).
1. Finally, click the **Create group** button.
## Add a new project to a group
There are 2 different ways to add a new project to a group:
- Select a group and then click on the **New project** button.

You can then continue on [creating a project](create-project.md).
- While you are [creating a project](create-project.md), select a group namespace
you've already created from the dropdown menu.
