### User groups

##### Users groups are groups with specific commission rates and discounts that users could be assigned to them. User groups will be useful for Organization, Instructor, and student user roles.
Assign users to the user groups with different options and increase your system flexibility.
Use user groups to:
• Categorize your users (Example: Loyal students, VIP students, General students)
• Create custom commission rates for instructors and organizations (Example: VIP instructors will get 50% of commission)
• Award extra discount for users (Example: 20% of commissions for Loyal students group)
Increase user retention and loyalty by creating different user groups.
Create a new user group:
Navigate to the “Admin panel/ Users section/ Groups/ New”
Fill out the required data according to your needs and click on the “Save” button.
Important notes:
No need to fill both the commission and discount fields. If you want to create a group with a specific commission rate, you should fill the related field and if you want to create a group with just a specific discount rate, fill the related field and don’t fill the commission rate filed.
You can use both of the “Commission” and “Discount” fields at the same time.
If the commission text field is filled, the main commission rate (Defined in the financial settings) will be ignored.
If you want to disable a user group, no need to delete it. Just change the status to “Disabled”
Commission rates will be available just for instructors and organizations but discounts will be useful for all user types.
Add users to a user group:
Open the user groups list and click on the “edit” button in the "Actions" column.
Assign the users to the specific group using the “users” field. Type the user name and the system will search in the users list. Click on your favorite user and add to the list.
To remove a specific user from a group, click on the “x” button.
