# Express Group Administration

To access Express Group Administration, navigate to **Administration** > **Express Permissions** > **Express Group Administration**.

The Express Group Administration page is where administrators create and manage Express groups. Groups control the data access scope for end-users based on their position in the Express role hierarchy. Once created, groups are assigned to Express roles in [Express Role Administration](/unqorkai/docs/express-role-administration).

> [!WARNING]
> Managing Express groups requires administrative permissions. Administrators needing access should contact their environment administrator.
