# View access groups

Typically various sets of users tend to use the same applications that use common features from a given host. They typically require the same volume resources and permissions of access to these shared volumes. For this reason, hosts are registered in groups that are identified with a group name, which serves as a root for all access control entries (ACEs) in the group.

## Prerequisites

A read-only user can view access groups, but you must use a PIN to edit properties.

## Steps

1. Select the storage system (does not apply to storage systems running PowerMaxOS 10 (6079)).
2. Click .
3. In the Settings dialog, click System Access Control > Access Groups.
4. To enable active management, enter your Access Control PIN: View access controls
5. Use the Access Groups list view to display and manage access groups on the storage system.
   The following properties display:

   Access ID Group | Name of the access ID.
   Number of Access IDs | Number of members (host access IDs) in the group.
   Number of Access Control Entries | Number of access pools that are associated with the group.

   The following controls are available:
   - —View access group details
