# How to create a group in GitLab
2015-07-31 11:21:53 -04:00
Your projects in GitLab can be organized in 2 different ways:
under your own namespace for single projects, such as `your-name/project-1` or
under groups.

If you organize your projects under a group, it works like a folder. You can
manage your group members' permissions and access to the projects.
