# How to create a group in GitLab
 
## Create a group
Your projects in GitLab can be organized in 2 different ways:
under your own namespace for single projects, such as ´your-name/project-1'; or under groups.
If you organize your projects under a group, it works like a folder. You can manage your group members' permissions and access to the projects.
To create a group, follow the instructions below:
under your own namespace for single projects, such as `your-name/project-1` or
under groups.
 
Sign in to [GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com).
If you organize your projects under a group, it works like a folder. You can
manage your group members' permissions and access to the projects.
 
When you are on your Dashboard, click on "Groups" on the left menu of your screen:
