# Adding Folders to Groups

<div className="article_labels_list" style={{display: 'none'}} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: "Admin , Groups , Article , Product Utilization , Established , Instruction"}} />

Folders in groups allow you to share folders and assign permissions for those folders with all members of a group.

<Note>
  **Prerequisite**

  You must be:

  * An Admin
  * A Co-admin with the *Manage groups* permission enabled

  to add folders to groups and assign permissions to folders in groups.
</Note>

1. Go to **Admin Console > Users & Groups**.
2. Click the **Groups** tab.
3. Click the name of a group.
4. In the Shared Folders section, click **Edit**.
5. Click **Share Folders**.
6. Search for folders you want to include or navigate to the folders or subfolders to the folders you want to include.
7. For each folder in the list you want to add to the group, click **Select**. You can select multiple folders at the same folder level, but if you click into a new folder, any previous selections will be removed. To select folders at different levels to be included in the group, click **Done** when you have selected all the folders you want at one level, then click **Share Folders** again to navigate to or find more folders to add.
8. Click **Done**.
9. For each folder, select the [collaborator permissions](/en/box-fundamentals/for-users/collaborating/collaborating-by-inviting-others/understanding-collaborator-permission-levels) that all group members will have on the folder.
10. Click **Save**.

<Note>
  **Note**: The permission level you assign to a folder cannot exceed the permission level that the group already has on that folder as a direct collaborator.

  For example, if a group is already a *Viewer* on a folder, you cannot use group settings to upgrade its permission to *Editor*. To raise the group's permission level, go directly to that folder's [Manage Collaborators](/en/box-admin-tools/managing-content/content-manager/managing-collaborators-of-a-users-files-and-folders) page and change it there.
