EmpowerID provides two methods for creating groups, Create Group and Create Group Simple. The Create Group Simple form has the bare minimum of fields and options to create a group. But if you need to set advanced options on requests, deletions, high security, or valid dates, then Create Group is the best option.

This topic demonstrates how to create a ServiceNow group using both methods.
