    command         = 'chief',
    chief           = true,
    groups          = { 'vip', 'donator' },
    category        = 'Civil Protection',
} )
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Output

If player selects a job that has a group requirement; they will be presented with an error message in multiple locations:

![Example of player not meeting group requirement](/files/-MK-P59skL1WNcirn_sf)

## Notes

{% hint style="info" %}
Some server owners tend to use CustomCheck to validate groups; we'd recommend using **NeedGroup** instead for more functionality within Arivia.
{% endhint %}
