You’ll also see that you’re a member of the **Administrators** group — that’s why you were able to go to the Admin Panel in the first place. So, to make someone an admin of Metabase you just need to add them to this group. Metabase admins can log into the Admin Panel and make changes there, and they always have unrestricted access to all data that you have in your Metabase instance. So be careful who you add to the Administrator group!
The **All Users** group is another special one. Every Metabase user is always a member of this group, though they can also be a member of as many other groups as you want. We recommend using the All Users group as a way to set default access levels for new Metabase users. If you have [Google single sign-on](09-single-sign-on.md) enabled, new users who join that way will be automatically added to the All Users group. (**Important note:** as we mentioned above, a user is given the *most permissive* setting she has for a given database/schema/table across *all* groups she is in. Because of that, it is important that your All Users group should never have *greater* access for an item than a group for which you're trying to restrict access — otherwise the more permissive setting will win out.)

Collections are a great way to organize your saved questions and decide who gets to see and edit things. Collections could be things like, "Important Metrics," "Marketing KPIs," or "Questions about users." Multiple [user groups](05-setting-permissions.md) can be given access to the same collections, so we don't necessarily recommend naming collections after user groups.
This page will teach you how to create and manage your collections. For more information on organizing saved questions and using collections, [check out this section of the User's Guide](../users-guide/05-sharing-answers.md).

### Creating and editing collections
Only administrators of Metabase can create and edit collections. From the Questions section of Metabase, click on the `Create a collection` button. Give your collection a name, choose a color for it, and give it a description if you'd like.

* Place the most important saved question cards near the top of the dashboard, and/or make them bigger than the other cards. That will help draw people’s attention to what matters most.
* If you have more than 10 cards on a dashboard, think about breaking the dashboard into two separate ones. You don't want to overwhelm people with too much information, and each dashboard should revolve around one theme or topic. Remember — you can make as many dashboards as you want, so you don’t have to cram everything into just one.
* Consider [adding filters to your dashboard](06-dashboards.md#dashboard-filters) to make them more useful and flexible. For example, instead of your dashboard being full of questions that are restricted to a specific time span, you can make more general questions and use dashboard filters to change the time span you're looking at.

So here’s what we’re doing — when we pick a month and year with our new filter, the filter needs to know which field in the card to filter on. For example, if we have a `Total Orders` card, and each order has a `Date Ordered` as well as a `Date Delivered`, we have to pick which of those fields to filter — do we want to see all the orders *placed* in January, or do we want to see all the orders *delivered* in January? So, for each card on our dashboard, we’ll pick a date field to connect to the filter. If one of your cards says there aren’t any valid fields, that just means that card doesn’t contain any fields that match the kind of filter you chose.
#### Filtering SQL-based cards
Note that if your dashboard includes cards that were created using the SQL/native query editor, you'll need to add a bit of additional markup to the SQL in those cards in order to use a dashboard filter on them. [Using SQL parameters](12-sql-parameters.md)
