# Creating a Server Group

https://docs.wisecp.com/fr/creating-a-server-group

Name a group, choose how it spreads new accounts, and move servers into it with a dual list.

## Opening the Screen

From **Server Groups** ([Server Groups](https://docs.wisecp.com/en/managing-server-groups)), click **Create New Group**: `{admin}/products/servers/groups/add`. Open a group's name, or **Edit** in its row menu, to change it later: `{admin}/products/servers/groups/edit?id={grup}`. Both addresses open the same form, already filled in when editing.

## What Is on the Screen

Two cards side by side. **Server Group** on the left holds the name and the distribution method. **Server Assignment** on the right moves servers in and out with a dual list.

### Server Group Card

**Group Name** is what the group is called in lists and in a product's automation settings. **Distribution Type** is two cards. **Lowest Load (Recommended)** always adds to the server with the lowest load. **Fill Up** fully utilizes one server before moving to the server with the lowest load.

### Server Assignment Card

**Unassigned** on the left and **Assigned** on the right each carry a search box. **Add** and **Remove** move a selection between them; double arrows move everything at once. A server with no Maximum Accounts limit is dimmed and cannot be selected, and a warning icon on it explains why. Once any server sits on the Assigned side, only servers sharing its automation module stay selectable. The rest dim until the group is emptied again.

## Fields

- **Group Name**: Required.
- **Distribution Type**: Required, Lowest Load by default.
- **Server Assignment**: At least one server, moved from Unassigned to Assigned with the dual list.

## Tasks

### Creating a Group

1. Enter a **Group Name**.
2. Pick **Lowest Load (Recommended)** or **Fill Up** under **Distribution Type**.
3. Move servers from **Unassigned** to **Assigned**, one at a time or with **Add** for a selection.
4. Click **Create New Group**.

### Assigning or Removing Servers

1. Search the **Unassigned** list and click each server you want, or use the double arrow for all of them.
2. Click the single arrow to move your selection across.
3. Remove a server the same way from the **Assigned** side if you change your mind, then click **Save Changes**.

## Things to Watch

> **Only one automation module per group**
> 
> A group can hold servers from a single automation module at a time. Once one server is assigned, servers using a different module dim on the Unassigned list until the group is emptied again.

> **A server needs an account limit to join**
> 
> A server with no Maximum Accounts limit set cannot be assigned to a group. Set that limit on the server first, see [Adding a Server](https://docs.wisecp.com/en/adding-a-server).

> **Lowest Load or Fill Up**
> 
> **Lowest Load** spreads new accounts evenly and suits most setups. **Fill Up** saturates one server before moving to the next, useful when you plan to retire the emptier servers later.

## Required Privileges

Opening this screen and creating or saving a group needs **Server Settings** (`MODULES_SERVERS_SETTINGS`).
