# Privilege Groups

https://docs.wisecp.com/fr/privilege-groups

Every privilege group in the system, the staff who hold each one, and the actions to create, edit or delete a group.

## Opening the Screen

Choose **Staff and Admins › Privileges** from the menu, or open `{admin}/privileges` directly.

## What Is on the Screen

The screen is a single list, one row per group, with the button to create a new one above it.

### The list

Each row carries the group's name, the staff members who currently hold it, and a menu with **Edit** and **Delete**. A group that holds every permission in the system carries a **Fully Authorized** badge. The built-in **Root Authority** group carries its own badge and no menu at all. It cannot be edited or deleted from this screen. Use the search box above the list to narrow it by name. The download button next to it exports the full list.

## Tasks

### Find a group

1. Type part of the group's name into the search box above the list.
2. The list narrows as you type.

### Delete a group

1. Open the row's menu and choose **Delete**.
2. Confirm in the window that opens. It names the group you are about to remove.
3. The list refreshes and the group is gone.

## Things to Watch

> **Deleting a group does not check who holds it**
> 
> The confirmation window only names the group. It does not warn you if staff are still assigned to it. A staff member left without a group keeps no privileges anywhere in the panel until you assign a new one. Check the Assigned column first.

> **The Root group is protected**
> 
> The group carrying the Root Authority badge has no Edit or Delete entry in its row menu, and deleting it is blocked everywhere. Its name and permissions can still be changed by opening its edit page directly; the only rule the system enforces there is that the permission managing privilege groups stays selected.

## Required Privileges

The whole screen, viewing the list, creating, editing and deleting a group, runs on a single permission: `ADMIN_PRIVILEGES`. There is no separate view-only permission for this area. Downloading the list also needs `TABLE_EXPORT`.
