# What is a Permission Group?

A Permission Group allows you to effectively control and manage user access to customers and vendors. This provides businesses with enhanced security and streamlined user management capabilities. By assigning customers and vendors to Permission Groups, and then managing user permissions through these groups, businesses can ensure that sensitive information is only accessible to authorized personnel.

### Key Features of Permission Groups

* **Integration with Customer and Vendor Modules:** A Permission Group dropdown has been added to the Customer and Vendor modules under the “Other Info” tab. This allows specific customers and vendors to be assigned to a Permission Group.
* **Advanced Permissions in User Module:** A new tab called “Advanced Permissions” has been added to the User module. This tab enables the configuration of user-specific access controls based on Permission Groups.

### Benefits of Using Permission Groups

1. **Enhanced Security**: By restricting access to sensitive data, permission groups help protect confidential information.
2. **Improved Control**: Admin users can finely tune which users have access to specific customers and vendors, ensuring compliance with internal policies.
3. **Efficiency**: Streamlining access control through permission groups reduces the task of managing individual user permissions.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.xorosoft.com/xoroerp-1/admin/permission-group/what-is-a-permission-group.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
