For information about creating and editing groups refer to [Manage groups](./manage_groups.md).

|
## Hierarchy
|
|
|
|
Groups can be children of another group. Members of children groups are effective members of the parent group.
|
|
|
|
When you bind a group to an application or flow, any members of any child group of the selected group will have access.
|
|
|
|
Recursion is limited to 20 levels to prevent deadlocks.
|
|
|
|
## Attributes
|
|
|
|
Attributes of groups are recursively merged, for all groups the user is a member of. For more information, see [Group properties and attributes](./group_ref.md).
