# Organizing Contacts with Groups

> Creating and using contact groups to organize your directory

## Overview
Groups let you organize your contacts into named collections for easier filtering and management. A contact can belong to multiple groups, and groups have no effect on cryptographic operations.

### What are groups?

Groups are named collections of contacts in your Majik Buwiz directory. They are purely organizational — they have no effect on invoice signing, encryption, or Exchange operations. A contact can belong to multiple groups simultaneously. Groups can have a name, description, and optional color for visual identification.

### Creating a group

1. **Open the Contacts tab**
   - Navigate to the Contacts tab.
   - Open the Groups section and select New Group.

2. **Name and configure the group**
   - Enter a group name (required).
   - Optionally add a description and choose a color for visual identification.
   - Save the group.

3. **Add contacts to the group**
   - From the group's detail view, select Add members and choose contacts from your directory.
   - You can also assign a contact to a group from the contact's own detail view.
   - A contact can belong to multiple groups — there is no limit.


### Using groups

Groups appear as filter options in the Contacts tab, letting you quickly narrow your directory to a specific set of contacts. They are also available as filter dimensions in the invoice search and filter panel, so you can find all invoices issued to contacts within a particular group.

### Deleting a group

Deleting a group removes the group and its membership records only. The contacts themselves remain in your directory — they are not deleted along with the group. Any invoices previously issued to members of the group are also unaffected.

> **NOTE:** Some groups may be marked as system groups — these are created and managed automatically by Majik Buwiz and cannot be deleted manually.
