# Manage Tyk Dashboard User Groups

> Learn how to organize Tyk Dashboard users into user groups (teams) to simplify role assignment and permissions management

Tyk has a flexible [user permissions](https://tyk.io/docs/platform-management/user-permissions.md) system that provides Role Based Access Control (RBAC) for your Tyk Dashboard.

When you have a large number of users and teams with different access requirements, instead of setting permissions per *user*, you can create a *user group* and configure the permissions for all users in the group. For example, if you only want certain *users* to access the Tyk Logs, you could create a "Logs Users" *user group*, then give those users the *Logs Read* permission and add them to your *Logs Users* group.

Note that **a user can only belong to one group**.

You must have either *admin* or *user groups* permission to be able to modify user groups.

This also works for Single Sign-On (SSO), as you can specify the user group ID when setting up SSO.
