# Create a new department

A **department** is an enterprise feature that lets you create multiple isolated Mozenda environments managed by the same organization/company. Although the term department is used by default, the naming convention can be changed according to an organization’s needs.

Enterprise account administrators can use *departments* to divide up a large set of agents into smaller targeted groups to:

- Set user permissions.
- Distribute page credits.
- Assign administrators to a subset of users.
- Increase performance since departments run agents independently as if they were from different accounts.

### Create a new department

In the Web Console:

1. Select  **Departments** .

          Can't find the Departments tab?

          

The name of this feature can be customized at the account level, so you might see something like *Projects* or *Teams* instead of *Departments*.

1. Select **New Department**.
2. Name the department.
3. Select the existing users you'd like to add to the department.

          Add a new user

          

If you are adding a user that is new. You need to create them in your account before you can assign them to the department.

1. Select **SAVE**.
