,	To organize the groups hierarchically in a certain order, click on the up arrow icon to move the group up one row or the down arrow icon to move the group down one row. The order in the table reflects the hierarchical order that can be loaded in this form into the runtime and is then available in online mode. A group from a higher hierarchy cannot have fewer access rights for an element than a group from a lower hierarchy.
