# User-->Groups

Use this page to add users to the groups available in a security realm (for example, `myrealm`). A group is an abstract, logical collection of users that has static membership. Groups can be used to define security policies for WebLogic Resources. By default, WebLogic Server has the following groups:

- `Administrators`—View and modify all resource attributes and perform start and stop operations. By default, the user from WebLogic Server is booted is included in this group.
- `Operators`—View all resource attributes and perform server lifecycle operations. By default, this group is empty.
- `Deployers`—View all resource attributes and deploy applications such as EJBs. By default, this group is empty.
- `Monitors`—View all resource attributes, modify resource attributes, and perform operations that are not restricted by a role. By default, this group is empty.

You do not have to use the default groups provided by WebLogic Server. BEA recommends creating groups that more closely reflect your own business structure and practices.

Note: Group and user names must be unique.
