Groups are a beta feature. If you cannot access groups in your account, this feature has not been enabled. For more information about enabling this feature, contact your Customer Success Manager.

As an admin or owner of a parent group, you can create a group within another group. The group limit of a nested budget is deducted from the group limit of the parent group. Within your group, you can create budgets. These budgets include their own budget limit, which is deducted from the group limit.

Each group must have at least one group owner. Group owners can create and manage budgets and create additional groups and limits within the group. Group owners can perform several actions that impact spending within their group, including creating budgets, setting budget limits, adding and removing budget members, and creating vendor cards. Any group owners from the parent group are automatically added as group owners to the new group. Unless they are admins, group owners cannot edit the limit to the top-level group to which they are assigned.
