Use Resource Groups to Control Access

You can use resource groups to control access to resources in addition to using Access Control (ACL).

Follow these steps:

1. Add the resource groups that are appropriate for your organization. For instructions, see Manage Resource Groups.
2. To open a configuration file in DevTest Workstation, double-click it from the Project Panel.
3. Click the Add icon at the bottom of the panel.
4. Click the Key column in the Properties Editor.
5. From the list of properties, select RESOURCE_GROUP.
6. Click the Value column.
7. Select the resource group that you want to associate with this configuration.

   You can only select one resource group from the drop-down list, but you can edit the Value column to enter a list of resource groups, which are separated by commas.

8. To save the configuration, click Save.

Any test case, test suite, or VSM that you stage using this configuration is restricted to using the resources that are in the resource group.

Note: The resource group association is only in effect when the configuration is the active configuration.
