# Creating Usergroups based on Users

Configure user-to-groups.map to create a group based on hosts.

Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT server.

Open user-to-groups.map in the Configuration director, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.

Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.
Specify usernames with the following syntax:
```
MAP: UserGroupName (GroupType)
User1
User2
UserN
```
It is recommended to include the GroupType, although the mapping will work regardless of its inclusion.

Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-white character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported.
Example
```
MAP: Finance (Department)
User079
User291
```
This example maps User079 and User291 in Finance and using the Department as group type.
Save the changes.
