# Lab 3.1: Create a Personal Group
> **Keyboard Time**: 1 mins, **Automation Wait Time**: 0 mins
>
> **Scenarios:** Instructor-Led, Self-Paced
1. While in 'classgroup', near the top right of the page, *Click* **New subgroup** (button)
2. Name the group with the mask `firstname_lastname` so that it will be unique, easy to remember and easy for others to identify. (For example if your gitlab user id is @supercoolcoder and your avatar URL is https://gitlab.com/supercoolcoder, name your subgroup ‘supercoolcoder’).
From here on in the exericses this will be referred to as 'yourpersonalgroup'
3. *Click* **Create Group**.
4. On the left hand navigation *Click* **Settings**
5. Next to “General”, *Click* **Expand**
6. For “Visibility Level”, *Check* **Public**.
{{< admonition type=warning title="Must Be Public" open=true >}}
Projects that are used by the GitLab Agent must be public when the agent registration is done in a project other than the one the deployment happens from and when the image being sourced is not using a stored docker login secret.

7. **Record or remember** 'yourpersonalgroup' = _________________________________________________
{{< admonition type=warning title="IMPORTANT" open=true >}}
Throughout the remaining exercises you will replace the text yourpersonalgroup with this actual group name.
