Groups allow you to map users to their relevant roles. This enables you to assign the permissions for a chosen set of roles to all the users in the group. Users in the group inherit the permissions that are defined in the assigned roles, subject to any restrictions on sites.

Each user can belong to multiple groups. They inherit the roles and permissions from all the groups that they belong to.

You can also use groups to restrict users to certain parts of the site tree.

This section explains how to manage groups locally in Burp Suite Enterprise Edition. Alternatively, you can use SSO or SCIM to manage groups. For more information, see Managing SCIM users and groups.
