  5. (Optional) Complete the Assign/Revoke Target Groups section.

    In this section, you can assign the target to one or more target groups. This is useful for doing the following actions:

    • Controlling user access to targets by target group
    • Filtering the dashboard by target group If target groups are listed in the Available Target Groups box, move one or more of the target groups to the Assigned Target Groups box to assign the target to those target groups.

    If no target groups are listed, you can create target groups using the Target Groups page on the TARGET panel.

  6. (Optional) Complete the Assign/Revoke Users section.

    In this section, you can assign the target to one or more users. This is useful for controlling user access to the target: for example, when scheduling a test.

    If users are listed in the Available Users box, move one or more of the users to the Assigned Users box. This assigns the target to those users.

  7. To finish creating the target, click the CREATE button (in the lower-right corner of the form).
