# Overview

## About this task

Groups in VM Essentials define the available resources for each user. Group access is defined by Roles. Clouds are added to Groups, and a User can only access the Clouds associated with Groups in their Role. Resources such as networks, datastores, resource pools, and folders have additional Group access settings.

The Groups list page displays all current groups, which can be filtered by applied Labels or by simple search. Existing Groups can be edited here and new Groups can be created.
