### Permission for Users

If you would like to allow the feature of sending message to WhatsApp Group only to certain users then you can do the same with your [Roles](https://pickyassist.com/beta/organization/roles), just enable or disable the permission to the roles

## Important Informations (Must Read)

1. Kindly note that you can select maximum 20 groups at a time for sending messages.
2. **If you have too many groups which have full members then please use this feature very carefully as this can drastically slow down your normal incoming and outgoing messages, for an example if you have 20 groups and each group have 256 members then 5120 messages needs to be send technically even you are posting just one message to a group**
3. We don't support processing delivery, read reports to the messages send to group due to high load impact, suppose posting one message to a group having 256 members generates around 768 event call backs to your WhatsApp Web Automation server which may further slow down the entire server if we catch the report and push to your account.
4. We don't listen for incoming or replies in groups so kindly manage the same from your phone or web.whatsapp.com by enabling multi device feature 
5. You can create new groups, sub groups, add or remove members automatically using our connector feature. [Read More](https://help.pickyassist.com/setting-up-guide/setting-up-connector/steps/actions#automating-whatsapp-groups)
