User Groups allow you to limit access to Users via Permissions. As an SI 2017 Administrator, you can control what access your Users have to features of SI 2017. In a multi-user environment, it is often necessary to limit access to certain features within SI 2017. For example, you may not want some users to view pricing in the Catalog, or you might not want to grant QuickBooks transfer access to some users.
