Adding and managing access groups

You can enable access control to specific entities, such as domains, report groups, views, view groups, task groups, and cost pools, by using Access groups.

Use the Access groups page in the TrueSight Capacity Optimization console to add or delete access groups, view a summary of the currently defined access groups, and to assign access groups to user accounts. From this page, you can configure an access group for domains, report groups, task groups, or cost pools. 

To configure an access group for views or view groups, use the Capacity Views page in the TrueSight console. For more information, see Managing-views.
