## What's new

- **Add and edit Admin Groups.** `People > Admin groups` has `Add Group`, and selecting a group opens
  its page. Name the group, tick its members, and give it one or more Data Access Rules. Each rule
  sets `Full Access`, `Read Only` or `No Access` for each type of record, either with
  `Any Criteria` or for the Funding Categories, Funding Rounds and Programs you tick. A category
  also covers rounds added to it later. Someone in several groups gets the widest access any of
  them allows, so Administrators see only the records their groups allow once you lower the
  `Default Group`. See [Admin groups](/administrator/users/admin-groups).
- **Delete a group you no longer need.** `Delete group` removes a group; its members keep their
  accounts and their other groups. The `Default Group` keeps its name and every Administrator, and
  can't be deleted.
