   • Note: Group members will have view-only access to these files and cannot edit them.
7. Click Save to finalize the creation of the group.
8. Once the group is created, a success message will appear, and the group will be listed on the User Groups page.
9. By default, newly created groups are set to active. Managing User Groups:
