Hi, I read a few topics regarding activating the deactivated groups functionality in the env. The posts are old and there wehr commitments and updates since then. So my question: Are there still known issues using groups? I have 30 users in 5 departments. These I want to have in different groups Passwords should be in different collections No external users needed Thanx for an information update! KlausBecker ---

On the [wiki](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki#supported-features) this shows Groups as a supported feature, _whereas previously this was labeled unstable_ so I would presume that this is working as intended. Though this was only [edited about a week or so ago](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Home/4f8faa57b89372a11e24f29281e451fff3056381), so if you experience any problems I would always encourage filing a GitHub issue in the main repo. That being said I don’t see any currently open issues either for groups ---

There might still be some weird quirks with it. Especially in combination with collections and users. The main reason is the complexity of the queries which make it hard to link everything easily. ---

The combination with collections and users are essential. Groups without users are useless. “There might be” You wrote. Are there any issues You encountered or just a bad feeling that it could happen? ---

As mentioned before. It is a very complex set of data currently normalized beyond useful usage. Because of this complexity it is very hard to tell if anything is wrong. Sometimes people mention an issue, but then it just seems a mis-configuration on their end. And sometimes there is a strang combination of group, collection, and user settings which cause something strange to happen. ---

O.K: I will giv it a try! I found this env-template. There is a block to activate Groups: > ## BETA FEATURE: Groups ## Controls whether group support is enabled for organizations ## This setting applies to organizations. ## Disabled by default because this is a beta feature, it contains known issues! ## KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! # ORG\_GROUPS\_ENABLED=false Can I set this in Portainer env? ORG\_GROUPS\_ENABLED=true Or Do I have to import an env-File? sorry for the BOLD… I did not make this ---

Any suggestions for activating the groups? How exactly do I have to set this: ORG\_GROUPS\_ENABLED=true Klaus ---

Groups are now there! I managed to add the entry via portainer via Edit / Copy / Advanced Container Settings / ENV There I did add environment variable ![Bildschirmfoto 2024-11-06 um 13.45.36](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/vaultwarden/original/2X/a/a30d52b5ed4b43d6cef9566dd4fc5bed1c364ed7.png) ---

Hi iyes, after xmas, New Year, a few weeks of sickness caused by a flew. I am now back to vaultwarden. So no usage so far 😉 I found a connector for syncing LDAP to vaultwarden. I hope to get the teams in using this. But this is important for later. I made a few test-email-accounts to test the users, groups, roles and collections, before I make the migration to vaultwarden. so far… ---

Hi Klaus! So now almost a year passed, what issues you have faced with groups and LDAP connector? ---

Hi @KlausBecker , I am also interested in your learned lessons regarding groups in vaultwarden. Now, [that SSO with OIDC moved from testing to stable](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Enabling-SSO-support-using-OpenId-Connect), I plan connecting Vaultwarden to Authentik as IdP
