# How to create a group

### Buy a group subscription

{% hint style="warning" %}
It's important to note that the person who buys the group subscription is set as the admin for the group. You can give other members manager privileges, but there is only one admin. See [roles-and-permissions](https://docs.overleaf.com/groups/user-management/roles-and-permissions "mention").
{% endhint %}

To create a group on Overleaf, you’ll just need to purchase a group subscription. You can explore the available subscription options on the [Overleaf Plans page](https://www.overleaf.com/plans). These plans cater to different team sizes and needs, offering flexibility whether you're a small group or a large organization.

For organizations that require a purchase order (PO), please note there is a minimum requirement of **5 user seats** to qualify. Payments can be made via debit/credit card or PayPal for smaller groups or teams.

If you need a custom number of seats, or help with a PO, please [contact Overleaf](https://www.overleaf.com/contact). Our team will be able to help you tailor a solution that fits your specific requirements.
