# Add Group Template

This page will allow you to create a group template for ease of deployment to your clients' tenants. Enter the group's "Display Name", "Description", and "Username" before selecting the radial for the group type you'd like to set.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Username equals the Microsoft 365 mailNickname/alias. It must be unique per tenant. Because of this it must be overwritten after cloning an existing group. 
{% endhint %}
