You can click on 'Add new' to create a new permission group for your requirements, or 'Rename' a permission group to suit your needs.

 

Note: Permissions work in layers. If an employee is listed in two or more permission groups, the employee will always receive the highest level of access/permissions of all the permission groups they belong to.

I.e. if an employee is a member of the 'Manager' permission group and the 'Everyone' permission group, the permission within a group giving them the "higher" permission (Change > View > None) will apply.
