Introduction to groups

Learn how groups help you organize users and deliver learning across your organization.

Updated today

Groups let you organize users by team, department, role, or any criteria that suits your organization. Once you've created a group, you can assign learning to everyone in it at once — saving time and keeping your training consistent.

What is a group?

A group is a collection of users in your organization. You can use groups to deliver learning programs, track progress, and manage training for specific teams or departments.

Groups are useful for tasks like onboarding new team members, assigning compliance training to a department, or rolling out development programs across your organization.

Types of groups

There are two types of groups you can create in Go1 Learn:

Static groups are groups where you choose exactly who to include. You add and remove members yourself. Static groups work well when you need precise control over membership — for example, a project team or a small working group.

Dynamic groups use rules to determine membership automatically. You set conditions based on user information like department, job title, location, or start date, and Go1 Learn keeps the group up to date as your team changes. Dynamic groups are ideal for larger, ongoing groups like "All Sales team members" or "New starters in the last 30 days."

When to use each type

Choose a static group when:

  • You need a small, specific group of people

  • Membership doesn't change often

  • You want to hand-pick exactly who is included

Choose a dynamic group when:

  • You want membership to update automatically as people join or leave your organization

  • The group is based on user attributes like department, role, or location

  • You need the group to stay current without manual update

Who can create and manage groups

You'll need one of the following roles to create and manage groups:

  • Administrator — Full access to create, edit, and delete any group

If you don't see the option to create groups, contact your organization's Administrator.
