Creating a New Group
Groups created using the Participant Administration utility are used in Windchill utilities that allow administrators to select participants as part of setting up context teams, access control, indexing, and notification policies or as part of setting up workflow processes or life cycle templates.

Administrators can also use the Groups page from the Organization context and the Team page, to create and manage the groups used with context teams.

Groups can be members of other groups, and groups are associated with the context in which they are created. After you have created a group, you can edit the group but you cannot change the context associated with the group.
