Overview

In Pay-i, Groups are a key component of the organizational structure, sitting between Organizations and Applications. Groups organize your Applications and provide aggregated metrics across them. When you first access Pay-i, you'll notice the dashboard is organized around the concept of Groups, with several key areas dedicated to group management and navigation.

Understanding Groups

As part of Pay-i's three-tier hierarchical structure:

1. Organizations - The top-level entity that contains all your Pay-i resources
2. Groups - Collections of applications (like "Human Resources" in the image)
3. Applications - Individual services making AI provider requests (like "Magic Ads" or "Magic Chats" shown in area 4)

Every user automatically receives a personal group for private applications when they join Pay-i (like "Michael's Applications" in the image). This personal group is visible only to you and cannot be shared with others. While sufficient for individual use, you'll need to create additional shared groups to collaborate with team members. For more details about the different types of groups, refer to Personal vs. Shared Groups.

Groups help you organize applications logically and provide aggregated metrics across all applications within them, giving you a higher-level view of your AI usage.

Creating Groups

As shown in area 1 of the dashboard image, you can create a new group by clicking the "+ Create Group" button in the top-right corner.

You'll want to create additional shared groups when:

• You need to collaborate with team members on applications
• You want to organize applications by department, project, or function
• You need to provide specific team members access to certain applications

To create a new group:

1. Click the "+ Create Group" button (area 1)
2. Enter a name for your group in the dialog that appears
3. Configure any additional settings
4. Click "Create" to finish

Unlike your personal group, these custom groups can be shared with other team members, enabling collaboration.

Personal vs. Shared Groups

Pay-i provides two types of groups:

1. Personal Group - The private group automatically created for each user (like "Michael's Applications" in the image):

   • Is private to the individual user and cannot be shared with others
   • Contains applications that are only visible to you

2. Shared Groups - Custom groups that you create using the "+ Create Group" button (like "Human Resources" in the image):

   • Allow collaboration with team members
   • Enable applications to be shared across users

Important: Applications can be moved between groups by going to the Application's settings. To collaborate and share applications with other users, you must create a custom group and move your applications to that group. Applications in your personal group remain private and cannot be accessed by others.
