+### Group visibility
+
+Like projects, a group can be configured to limit the visibility of it to:
+
+- Anonymous users.
+- All signed-in users.
+- Only explicit group members.
+
+The restriction for [visibility levels](../admin_area/settings/visibility_and_access_controls.md#restricted-visibility-levels)
+on the application setting level also applies to groups. If set to internal, the explore page is
+empty for anonymous users. The group page has a visibility level icon.
+
+Administrator users cannot create a subgroup or project with a higher visibility level than that of
+the immediate parent group.

### Namespaces
