## Groups and their usage

Power Admin provides you with the tools needed to track and manage your groups in Jira easily. You can find any group and information about its members, security, notifications, and JQL usage.

You can understand how each group is used, which projects are accessible by the group members, which filters and dashboards are shared with this group, and much more.

## Find groups

1. On Power Admin's *Home* page, select **Group **from the drop-down, type a group name, and start your search.
2. On the *Search results* page, click on the name of a group. You can filter further the groups by using the **Projects** filter next to the search field.
3. Then, the group profile page appears.

## Search results

The page with search results shows the following information for each group:

- *Name, global permissions, and ID *of the group - you can search for a group by its name. The group name is the ID of the group.
- *Members* - number of the members of the group. You can click on the lozenge and be redirected to Jira's *Users*** **page displaying details about the group members.
- *Projects *- number of projects associated with a group. The group is part of the configuration of these projects. When you click on the projects lozenge, you can view a list of all the group's projects.

## Profile page

Using the profile page, you can view all the details about a group and its use.

### Usage information

A group's usage information is presented in the *Summary *and *Details *sections on its profile page. To present a group's complex usage report in an understandable and convenient way, we divided the usage information in the *Summary* section into the following groups: **Total**, **Security**, **Notifications**, **Workflows**, and **JQL**. There are tooltips on all counters and lozenges in the *Summary* section.

**Summary**

The **Total **section displays the number of *projects *a group is configured in. You can click to view a list of these projects.

The **Security **section displays the number of projects where the group has access to their issues. You can click to view a list of these projects.

The **Notifications **section displays the number of projects where group members will be notified of changes in these projects.

The **Workflows **section displays the number of projects where the group is configured in workflows assigned to these projects.

The **JQL** section displays the number of JQL references the group has in agile boards, service projects, and filters.

**Details**

The *Details*** **section of the profile page lists all the *permissions, global permission, issue security schemes, events, workflow*s, *agile boards,* *filters, *and* **[service projects](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PA/pages/244482637)* that use the group. You can then navigate to the Power Admin profile pages of *issue security schemes, workflow*s,* *and *filters*.
