  4. From within the Cart Rules click the Conditions tab on the left sidebar tab and find the checkbox labeled Select Customer Group. Selecting this checkbox will open an area where you can select your referred customer groups. All groups are listed in the right column by default. This is the list of groups that can use the cart rule.

    To customize this list, you will need to remove the ones you do NOT want by highlighting them and clicking the << Remove button underneath. This means that any groups left in the right column when you are done will be able to use the cart rule. In our example, we chose to have the cart rule work only with the Customer group.
