# Video: Creating a Group

# Efficiently managing recurring sessions with fixed groups of people

While ad-hoc sessions do not require contacts or groups at all, and contact accounts already enable time-shifted access to session content, groups offer a second optional level for process optimization.

With groups, you can manage recurring appointments with consistent groups of people in a particularly time-saving manner: You only define once who belongs to it – all sessions assigned to the group automatically adopt the appropriate access rights. Subsequent adjustments are also made centrally within the group without having to edit individual sessions. A group can be used flexibly – from a 1:1 setting of two people to complete teams or project groups.

Note

A prerequisite for creating a group is that the respective people have previously been added as contacts.

The group feature is also aimed at advanced users to optimize recurring workflows. To get started, we recommend working with ad-hoc sessions first to get to know the system.
