  Let $G$ be any group and $k\geq 1$ be an integer number. The ordered
configuration set of $k$ points in $G$ is given by the subset
$F(G,k)=\{(g_1,\ldots,g_k)\in G\times \cdots\times G: g_i\neq g_j \text{ for }
i\neq j\}\subset G^k$. In this work, we will study the configuration set
$F(G,k)$ in algebraic terms as a subset of the product $G^k=G\times
\cdots\times G$. As we will see, we develop practical tools for dealing with
the configuration set of $k$ points in $G$, which, to our knowledge, can not be
found in literature.
