#### Studio Groups

A studio group is a collective of users who create, upload, and manage content on MOTAR. Assets on MOTAR are created and managed by the Studio Group, not by individuals (this prevents assets from being locked by an individual user). The Studio group can represent an entire organization or a specific part of an organization.

**Click** the "Add to Studio Group" button to bring up the *add user to stidio group* modal.
