A *User Group* is a set of Team Members with a set of shared policies. A Segment Team Member can be a member of one or many Groups. All roles in the Segment App are additive, which means that group membership can be assigned in addition to individual roles for a single team member. For example, a single user could inherit roles from a Group definition AND have access to additional resources through individually assigned roles.
