# Group Provider Control

The Group Provider control provides a convenient way to incorporate group management actions into your Page Flows, such as creating groups and getting a list of users in a group.

Use the atnProvider attribute to specify which authentication provider contains the groups you want to manage with the control.

Security: For user and group management actions, the roles you specify in the WebLogic Administration Portal Authentication Security Provider Service determine whether or not the user can perform the action.

If you use the createGroup action, also use the Profile Control to create a group profile for the new group.
