# Default user group

Set a default user group to streamline onboarding in Tellius. Automatically assign new users, update existing ones, and manage group settings for consistent access.

Tellius enables admins to mark a required user group as default, which is marked with a **DEFAULT** badge (a ⭐ in releases before Tellius 6.4). The admins can choose whether to automatically include any new user in the default user group. This helps in seamless onboarding since the new user can explore the shared content of the default group.

To mark a user group as default,

1. Click on your name at the bottom of the left navigation (the profile icon in releases before Tellius 6.4).
2. From the menu, click on **Settings**.

1. Go to **Workspace → Users & Access → Groups** (in releases before Tellius 6.4, click on **Users & Groups**, and then click on the **Groups** tab).
2. A list of available user groups is displayed, from which you can select the required group. In Tellius 6.4, turn on **Set as Default Group** for the selected group. In releases before Tellius 6.4, click on the ⭐ icon on the right side to mark the group as default.

3. In releases before Tellius 6.4, click on the checkbox next to **Apply new group to all existing users?** to migrate all the existing user accounts to the current default group.
4. Once you click on **Confirm**, the default group is set. In Tellius 6.4, this checkbox is in the **Edit Group** window (step 6).

5. Alternatively, you can click on the three-dot menu next to the group name and choose **Edit** (the pen icon in releases before Tellius 6.4).

6. In the **Edit Group** window that appears, turn on **Set as Default Group?** to mark the group as default (a checkbox in releases before Tellius 6.4). The window then names the current default group, whose new users will be added to this group instead. To move all existing users into this group too, select **Apply new group to all existing users?**.

7. Click on **Update** (**Edit** in releases before Tellius 6.4). Now, the default user group is set.
8. The new users will be automatically associated with the default user group and they can explore its content immediately.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.tellius.com/tellius-6.4/settings/users-and-groups/default-user-group.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
