# User Groups

User Groups

User groups are a way to control the permissions that a group of users has in RiskBase. Each user group has a pre-defined list of access features - for example: approving assessments, viewing tasks, editing tasks etc.

For example, users added to the assessor user group would only have the permissions to carry out assessments, but if added to the assessor and approver user group, users would have the added functionality of approving those assessments.
