Creating User Subgroups
User group admins can create subgroups within user groups that they manage. Account admins can create subgroups within any user group in the account. On Enterprise accounts, account admins' right to create subgroups can be revoked.
You can create subgroups within existing user groups and subgroups to add a hierarchical structure element to your group management.

Note

If you are a regular user, you won't see the option to add admins because only account admins have the right to assign user group admins.
-
Subgroups automatically inherit the user group admin from the parent user group. The inherited admin cannot be removed from the subgroup.
