# How to Create User Groups
> User Groups define a group that will receive emails when a job alert is triggered. You can create one or multiple groups wherein each group may have members belonging to another group. This is to ensure that appropriate notifications are received and the intended recipients can respond immediately. You can either edit the existing Default Notification Group or create new groups.
### **Configuring a User Group (Company Level)**
The User Group at the Company Level will automatically apply to all portfolios and properties on the account unless there are individual assignments made at the property or portfolio level. \
