1. Add a new element type if the properties of the existing Element Types do not match the properties of the new devices. (See section [Element Type](docId\:Um_8IMb0_VFmNEy6uTXY3)for details on how to add an element type)
2. Add a new device group if the realms or properties of the existing device groups do not match the new devices. (See the section [Device Groups](docId\:oKtvnIAvwyUgj2J_Tv2tP) for details on how to add a new device group)
3. Add the **RADIUS/TACACS+** secret as **RADIUS/TACACS+ Key** to the Device Group.
4. Add the Common Enable Password **Enable Password** property to the Device Group, if your device prompts you for an enabled password to run some scripts.

1. Add the device using the **New Device Discovery **feature on the **Inventory **screen. You can use SSHv2 as the protocol. Select the **Element Type** and the **Device Groups **you just created. (See section [Adding Devices Manually](docId\:gCU7nIHpJfNEwSl63l8bK)  for details on how to add a device using New Device Discovery.)
2. Add a **Device Group Realm** between the **Device Group** and the **User Groups** that will have access. (See section [Creating Device Group Realms](docId\:Xok97NWvT0AriU2_hglKE) for details on how to add a device group realm)
3. Add **RADIUS** and** TACACS+ **attributes as policy keys (described below)
4. Add command-level White and Black Keys as policy keys (See section [Policy Key Definition](docId\:M_maGHm2ThAmDFLiePgwF) for details on how to define policy keys for white key/black key commands or RADIUS and TACACS+ attributes)
5. Create **Policy Groups **for the White Key, Black Key, RADIUS, and TACACS+ attribute policy keys (See section  [Policy Groups Definition](docId\:tVSmd7hi6UjvNUkAkfnKZ) for details on how to create policy groups)
6. Create **Policy Realms** between the newly-created **Policy Groups** and **Device Group Realms **(See section [Policy Realm Definition](docId:1hP6eJKF1KWAB3GJ6MvZ6) for details on how to create policy realms)
