# Method name: createGroup(group: Group, options: CreateGroupOptions)

# Method package: wixGroupsV2

# Method menu location: wixGroupsV2 --> groups --> createGroup

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-groups-v2/groups/create-group.md

# Method Description:

Creates a group.

When a group is created, the newly created group is added to the [Groups List](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-groups-about-your-groups-pages#groups-group-list) page
of a site.

Specify a `creatorId` to set the group's creator. The group's creator will automatically become a group admin, see Terminology ([REST](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/crm/community/groups/terminology.md) | [SDK](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/backend-modules/groups/terminology.md)).

Wix users determine who can create a group.
This setting can be found in [a site's Dashboard](https://www.wix.com/my-account/site-selector/?buttonText=Select%20Site&title=Select%20a%20Site&autoSelectOnSingleSite=true&actionUrl=https:%2F%2Fwww.wix.com%2Fdashboard%2F%7B%7BmetaSiteId%7D%7D%2Fwix-groups/settings?) under **Groups > General Settings > Group Creation**.
If set to **members with approval**, site members can create a group with the Create Group method, and the group becomes a `createRequest` with a status of `PENDING`.
A Wix user either approves or rejects the request to create a group.
If set to **all site members**, site members can create a group with the Create Group method and no approval is required.
If set to **only admins**, only Wix users can create a group with the Create Group method.
Default is set to **members with approval**.
