# Create product group

`POST /catalogs/product_groups`

Create product group to use in Catalogs owned by the "operation user_account".
- By default, the "operation user_account" is the token user_account.

Optional: Business Access: Specify an `ad_account_id` (obtained via [List ad accounts](/docs/api/v5/#operation/ad_accounts/list)) to use the owner of that ad_account as the "operation user_account". In order to do this, the token user_account must have one of the following [Business Access](https://help.pinterest.com/en/business/article/share-and-manage-access-to-your-ad-accounts) roles on the ad_account: Owner, Admin, Catalogs Manager.
"Catalog-based product groups" can include items from all data sources (feeds and API) and are available to both non-retail catalogs with any data sources and retail catalogs with API-created items. If your catalog only contains retail items created via feeds, you should use the "retail feed-based" option.
[Learn more](/docs/api-features/shopping-overview/)

Note: Access to the Creative Assets catalog type is restricted to a specific group of users.
If you require access, please reach out to your partner manager.
