Adding a New Group

Why groups matter

Groups are how PhishGrid knows who to target in each campaign. A well-structured group setup lets you:

  • Run campaigns on specific teams or departments without selecting users individually
  • Analyse results by group (Finance vs Engineering, UK vs India, etc.)
  • Assign training to only the users who need it

Before creating a group, decide what it will be used for. The most useful groups are specific and meaningful — "Finance - London" is more useful than "Group 3".


Steps

1. Go to Targets → All Groups

Click Targets in the left sidebar, then click All Groups.

2. Click "Add new group"

3. Enter a group name

Use a clear, descriptive name. Good examples:

  • Finance - APAC
  • IT Admins
  • New Hires - March 2026
  • Executive Team
  • Previously Clicked

4. Select members

A list of your targets will appear. Check the box next to each user you want to add to the group.

Tip: Use the search/filter to find users quickly in large target lists.

5. Click "Submit"

The group is created and ready to use in campaigns.
