# Group owner

Is a value used to cluster, or differentiate, [groups](group.md). Typically the name of an individual or organization, the “owner” is visible through the **projects and groups page** under the system admin menu. The owner value is set through the [advanced options](group_config_advanced_options.md) tab of the [group configuration](group_config.md) option under the admin menu. See the following screens.

A practical use of this field is that groups with a common owner can share member details, *see* [shared details](../folders_and_files/project_template/member_details.md).
