# Assigning Permission Groups to Articles

HelpDocs supports article-level permissioning so you can restrict who can view each article. You can easily manage who has access to your article from the article editor.

Before adding groups to articles you need at least [one user group](/article/zcf0rx726v-managing-permission-groups)

### Assigning Permission Groups to an Article

1. Head to the article
2. Click the **Permissions icon** in the toolbar
3. Select the group name from the **Groups** dropdown (you can choose more than one)
4. Click **Apply changes**
5. Hit **Save Changes**

Now only users in the selected groups will be able to see the article 🔐
