If you're using Quickbase's new sidebar navigation, some parts of this article might not match what you see in the product today. We appreciate your patience while we make updates. Learn more about new navigation.
Only users who can create applications can create groups. The process is slightly easier for Billing Account Administrators (see second section below).
