# ElastiCache User Group

ElastiCache User Group in AWS is a resource that allows you to manage groups of users for Redis authentication and access control. It simplifies permission management by letting you assign multiple users to a group and then associate that group with one or more Redis clusters. This helps enforce consistent access policies and improves security by centralizing user management.
