Salesforce lets you create user groups so that you can easily share records, specify actions in Knowledge, or to sync other users' contacts to others. User groups may contain individual users, different sets of groups, and other users within a specified role. Groups may also be public or personal, according to their use.

Creating a Personal User Group

Follow these steps to start creating your own group within Salesforce.

Go to My Settings .
Click either Personal or My Personal Information.
Click My Groups.
Click on New.
Fill up the Label field with your group's name. This will be visible in user interfaces.
Click on the Search drop-down list and choose the member types you wish to add. You can also enter a keyword in the search box if your intended member types do not show up.
Locate the Available Members box. Choose your members and click Add to place them on the Selected Members field.
Click Save .

Your new personal group is now created.

Creating a Public User Group

Administrators and their delegates are the only ones authorized to create public groups in Salesforce. The steps are almost the same as creating personal groups, but there are a few additional things you need to fill up.

Go to Setup and locate the Quick Find Box.
Type in Public Groups.
Select Public Groups.
Click on New.
Fill up the Label field with your group's name. This will be visible in user interfaces.
Add a Group Name. This will be used for managed packages and APIs.
If you want to grant automatic record access through role hierarchies, select Grant Access Using Hierarchies . Leave it unticked if your group has All Internal Users as members.
Click on the Search drop-down list and choose the member types you wish to add. You can also enter a keyword in the search box if your intended member types do not show up.
Locate the Available Members box. Choose your members and click Add to place them on the Selected Members field.
Add delegated groups as you wish by clicking on groups found in the Available Delegated Groups box and clicking Add.
Click Save.

You have now created a new public group.

Summary

Salesforce user groups can be created for sharing records, contacts, and other related workgroup tasks. Anyone can create their personal groups, but public groups are only created by admins and their delegates. Creating new groups is quite the same for personal and public groups, but public groups have more functionalities that need to be addressed.

I rarely write any reviews, but I am compel to write due to the talented team of Cloudworks. These guys are amazing and in simple word they know what you want and how to do it quickly. Kudos to Souphien Akhrif !!!

Tanveer Abdul Latif Jameel

We have worked with Cloudworks for a couple of years now. Souphien directly implemented our Salesforce which was built from the ground up. He was an integral part of understanding the needs of our company and spent many hours understanding the need, building smart solutions and training staff on how to use. We run a complex multi-national, multi-product business, and Cloudworks were able to quickly understand the brief. Post implementation Souphien and Cloudworks were always available for follow up questions and queries, however small and never once did I hear 'that is outside of scope' - Cloudworks deliver on time every time. Specifically I recommend Souphien, who I remain impressed by his professionalism and business methodology.

Richard Shearer, CEO Tintra

This is our first engagement with Cloudworks. Souphien and his professional team handled the implementation from start to end efficiently. Their swift support in resolving issues is really appreciated. Looking forward to a long relationship.

On the first meeting itself Souphien had done all his homework and was quite well-versed regarding the scope of our business. Apart from that — Vishal the Salesforce expert, was always available on emails and would sit with us for hours to answer all our questions and come up with a solution for our problems. The proactive and timely approach from the Cloudworks team is definitely commendable. It still surprises us as to how they managed to execute such a challenging project in such a short span of time.
