About This Feature

Overview

Add Group is a group-management feature in the WPS365 admin console. It is used to classify user groups by business purpose or management scenario.

Its main capabilities include:

Create group categories for user groups or dynamic user groups.
Maintain existing group categories through add, edit, or delete actions.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Create categories for user groups or dynamic user groups in the admin console and maintain them later for business-based organization.	Word can group shapes, pictures, or other objects so they can be moved, rotated, or resized together. This is focused on document objects rather than admin-side user grouping.	Google Docs can create and manage document tabs to organize document structure and navigation. This is focused on content sections rather than user-group classification.	Notion can create and manage groups inside a workspace and use them for permissions and teamspace access. This is centered on collaboration and access control.	Adobe Acrobat Analyzer can edit collections by adding, reusing, removing, or deleting files. This is focused on file-set organization rather than directory groups.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The entry is built directly into the directory group-management flow. Distinct: It supports category management for both user groups and dynamic user groups in one admin context.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft groups visual objects inside a document, not organizational user groups in an admin directory.	Compared with WPS: Google organizes document tabs and outlines, not user groups in a directory management workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion emphasizes workspace permissions and team collaboration, while WPS focuses on directory group classification.	Compared with WPS: Adobe organizes files inside collections, while WPS is designed for maintaining group categories in an organizational directory.

Overall Conclusion
Add Group in WPS is more closely aligned with enterprise directory and user-group administration. The compared products also provide grouping or organization features, but they mainly target document objects, document structure, workspace permissions, or file collections rather than admin-side group categorization.
