How to Create a Usergroup on Slack

How to Create a User Group in Slacte, follow the steps below one by one.

There’s probably no better messaging app than Slack when sorting out business scenarios and corporate needs. Take, for example, the “user group” feature, which allows you to conveniently interact with and manage a group. In this article, we show you how to create a user group in Slack.

Creating a user group has several advantages. When you aggregate individual Slack members into a user group, you can treat them as a single entity within Slack. This is particularly useful for grouping a particular section or a particular level of hierarchy.

What is User Group? How is it different from a channel?

A User Group is a collection of individual Slack users with a common purpose or role in an organization. All members can be treated together as a single unit. On the contrary, a channel is just a space to communicate on a particular topic. Also, unlike a channel, a user group does not provide a separate chat section for its members. It exists only so that users of a certain type can be notified or processed at the same time.

A channel cannot be treated as a single unit to the extent that it can be a user group. For example, you can add all members of a user group to a channel at the same time, but you cannot add all members of one channel to another channel. A few notable features of a usergroup are:

You can refer to anyone in a user group by saying the name of the user group in the message.

You can set default channels for a user group so that when a user joins that user group, they are automatically added to the default channels as well.

You can add all members of a user group to a channel at once without having to add everyone individually.

Steps to create a user group in Slack

To create a user group, you must use the Slack app on a desktop computer.

In the Slack desktop app, select More in the left column.

Press the New user group button in the upper right corner.

Enter a name and identifier for the user group, and then click Next.

Note: Adds default channels and you can specify the purpose of the user group.

NOTE: If you are not an administrator, you must have permission to manage user groups to see the option within the application.

From the add members screen, you can select users and add them to the user group.

Finally click on Create group.

If you want to add or remove users from the group later, repeat Step 1.

From the User groups tab, select the desired group and then click Edit members.
