# Groups

A group is a collection of whole sites with a shared dashboard. It is the answer to "how are all my client blogs doing?" — one chart, one set of tables, every site rolled together. Groups are an Ultra feature.

It is worth separating groups from [segments](/docs/analytics/segments), because they solve mirror-image problems. A group combines several sites into one view. A segment divides one site into several views. If the things you want to compare live on different domains, you want a group; if they live under different paths on the same domain, you want a segment.

## Creating one

From the sites list, open **Groups** and press **New Group**. You give it a name, an optional description, an icon or an image, an accent colour, and the sites to include. You also pick the default view: **All sites (separate)** keeps each site as its own line, which is what you want when you are comparing them, while **All sites (combined)** adds them into a single total. You can pin a group to your dashboard so it is the first thing you see.

The group dashboard has the same shape as a site's — chart, paths, journeys, and the rest — just rolled up across the members.

One permission detail that surprises people: team **Admins** cannot manage groups. The account **Owner** can. See [teams](/docs/account/teams) for the full division of labour.
