# Server Groups

> Organize servers into groups and control which plans can access them.

## What are server groups?

A **Server Group** is a collection of servers that can be assigned to plans. Instead of assigning individual servers to plans, you assign groups — making it easy to reorganize access without modifying every plan.

**Example setup:**

| Group    | Servers             | Assigned to plans |
| -------- | ------------------- | ----------------- |
| Standard | NYC-1, LDN-1        | Basic, Standard   |
| Premium  | NYC-2, TKY-1, SYD-1 | Premium, Business |
| US Only  | NYC-1, NYC-2, SFO-1 | US Plan           |

## Creating a server group

1. Go to **Admin → Server Groups**
2. Click **Create Group**
3. Enter a **Name** and optional description
4. Save the group

## Adding servers to a group

1. Open the group from **Admin → Server Groups**
2. Click **Add Servers**
3. Select one or more servers from the list
4. Click **Save**

A server can belong to multiple groups.

## Assigning groups to plans

1. Go to **Admin → Plans** and edit a plan
2. In the **Server Groups** section, select which groups users on this plan can access
3. Save the plan

Users on that plan will see all servers from all assigned groups in their dashboard.

## Use cases

* **Geographic tiers** — offer servers in specific regions on premium plans
* **Protocol tiers** — WireGuard-only servers on premium plans; OpenVPN on basic
* **Capacity management** — move a server out of a group for maintenance without impacting plan configuration
