+Configurable menus and user groups
+----------------------------------
+
+By enabling :config:option:`$cfg['Servers'][$i]['usergroups']` and
+:config:option:`$cfg['Servers'][$i]['usergroups']` you can customize what users
+will see in the phpMyAdmin navigation.
+
+.. warning::
+
+ This feature only limits what user sees, he is still able to use all the
+ functions. So this can not be considered as a security limitation. Should
+ you want to limit what users can do, use MySQL privileges to achieve that.
+
+With this feature enabled, the :guilabel:`User accounts` management interface gains
+second tab for managing :guilabel:`User groups`, where you can define what each
+group will view (see image below) and you can then assign each user to one of
+groups. Users will be presented by simplified user interface, what might be
+useful for inexperienced users who could be overwhelmed by all features
+phpMyAdmin provides.
