How to Create and Manage Groups
Groups provide administrators with a highly flexible way to organize users, assign tasks, and manage security awareness training. This guide covers the differences between Groups and Departments, how to manage custom groups, and how to utilize the automated "Phished Users" group.
Departments vs. Groups
While both features help you organize your users, they serve distinct operational purposes:
| Feature | Departments | Groups |
| Purpose | Mirrors your organization's internal hierarchy (e.g., Marketing, Sales, Finance). | Segments users based on custom criteria (e.g., language, geographic location, or risk level). |
| Management | Can be automatically synced with Single Sign-On (SSO) systems. | Dynamically populated or manually adjusted at an administrator's discretion. |
The "Phished Users" Dynamic Group
Wizer automatically creates a specialized Phished Users group to capture users who fail simulation campaigns. Because this group is automated and includes specific remediation workflows (like assigning follow-up training), we have a dedicated guide for it.
