Quick Look: Admin Center > People > Team > Groups
Groups are used to create collections of team members based on criteria those team members have in common.
How you set up your groups depends on how you want to define your workflow and organize your agents. You might create groups by skill (for example, software or hardware) or to reflect the organizations they serve. For example, a group might serve only customers in a certain region or time zone.
