# Creating a group with dynamic membership

Creating groups for your users is not required, but groups are useful for organizing users who share the same criteria such as job title, region, and so on.

As part of this demo, you can experience group based access control during the user simulation. For the purposes of this demo, creating a group is optional.

## Steps

1. In the PingOne admin console, go to **Directory > Groups**.

2. Click the **[icon: plus, set=fa]**icon.

3. In the **Create New Group** panel, enter a **Group Name**, and select **Default** in the **Population** list.

4. Click **Finish & Save**.

5. Click your new group to show the summary panel.

6. Click the **Users** tab.

   You can add members either individually or through a filter. For this example, we'll dynamically add users to the Sales group who have titles starting with "Sales."

7. Click **Add with a Filter**.

8. In the **Attribute** list, select **Title**, in the **Operator** list, select **Starts with**, and in the **Value** field, enter `Sales`. **Click Save Filtered Users**.

   As you can see, George and Lucy have been added to the Sales group.
