The built-in service groups All Service Groups and DefaultServiceGroup are created automatically when you install JP1/AO.

User groups

Only users with User Management permission can manage user groups.
You can create multiple user groups.
Each user group must have a unique name.
Users can belong to multiple user groups.
You can assign several service groups to one user group.
