# How to create a User Group

Important Step in launching a campaign

Before you can launch an assessment, you’ll need to set up a **User Group**.

1.  **Click the User icon** in the left-hand menu.
2.  At the top of the page, you’ll see several options. On the right-hand side, select **User Group**.
3.  Click **User Group** to create a new group.

**What is a User Group?**

A **User Group** is linked to an assessment and controls access for respondents. It’s the group that participants are assigned to when completing the MRI Benchmark survey.

**Naming the User Group**

When creating your group: (you can choose you own name for the group)

-   **Name:** *All Employees (example)*
-   **Description:** *All Employees (example)*

This keeps things simple and makes it easy to identify the group later.

**Link the Group to an Assessment**

Further down the page, you’ll be asked to **link the User Group** to a  linked form. You will see two options:

1.  **MRI Benchmark (N)** – Participants begin by entering their name (Name required)
2.  **MRI Benchmark (A)** – Anonymous version (No name required)

✅ **Important:** Even when names are collected, **all results are combined into one overall report and reported anonymously**. Individual responses are never shown on their own.
