# How to Create a Connection Group
|
||
|
||
|
||
Use these steps to create a connection group by using the App-V Management Console. To use PowerShell to create connection groups, see [How to Manage Connection Groups on a Stand-alone Computer by Using PowerShell](how-to-manage-connection-groups-on-a-stand-alone-computer-by-using-powershell.md).
|
||
|
||
When you place packages in a connection group, their package root paths are merged. If you remove packages, only the remaining packages maintain the merged root.
|
||
|
||
**To create a connection group**
|
||
|
||
1. In the App-V 5.0 Management Console, select **Packages**.
|
||
|
||
2. Select **CONNECTION GROUPS** to display the Connection Groups library.
|
||
|
||
3. Select **ADD CONNECTION GROUP** to create a new connection group.
|
||
|
||
4. In the **New Connection Group** pane, type a description for the group.
|
||
|
||
5. Click **EDIT** in the **CONNECTED PACKAGES** pane to add a new application to the connection group.
|
||
|
||
6. In the **PACKAGES Entire Library** pane, select the application to be added, and click the arrow to add the application.
|
||
|
||
To remove an application, select the application to be removed in the **PACKAGES IN** pane and click the arrow.
|
||
|
||
To reprioritize the applications in your connection group, use the arrows in the **PACKAGES IN** pane.
|
||
|
||
**Important**
|
||
By default, the Active Directory Domain Services access configurations that are associated with a specific application are not added to the connection group. To transfer the Active Directory access configuration, select **ADD PACKAGE ACCESS TO GROUP ACCESS**, which is located in the **PACKAGES IN** pane.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
7. After adding all the applications and configuring Active Directory access, click **Apply**.
