The group appears in the Groups table, with its Group name, its Machines, a Users icon that lists the users assigned to the group, and, under Action, a pencil to edit it (Update group: rename it or click Add / Added to add or remove machines, then Update) and a trash icon to delete it.

In Assign machines group, switch All machines to OFF, select the circle on the right of each group the user should see, and click Confirm.

If the user should see all machines, leave All machines on ON.
