Item groups allow customers to communicate information about the hierarchy of categories associated with their items (typically, their products). This information powers hierarchical category faceting and search-in-category Autosuggest suggestions.

Hierarchy
The data about the hierarchy of item groups is edited independently of the item records themselves to allow flexibility to define or redefine group hierarchies.
Scope
Item groups are set at the level of each index (API key level), so separate keys in one account can contain different group hierarchies.
