- They can be owned by many administrators, meaning that more than one person can manage groups of users
- They allow operations to be performed on many users at once
In a future release, it will also be possible to directly map a group in External Users' to a group in Web Groups.

It is now possible to perform certain common operations on many users at once, such as:
- Deleting users
- Updating the expiry date of a set of users
- Updating the status of a set of users (disable or enable a set of users)
- Move users to a different group
