 Device Group Realms bind user groups with device groups so that the users in that user group can reach the devices defined in the device group.

To create a new device group realm:

1. Navigate to **Device Management **> **Device Groups**.
2. Open the **Device Group Realms** tab.
3. Fill out the **Device Realm Name** and **Description** fields.
4. Start typing the Device Group name in the **Device Group Select** field, click on the desired result from the auto-complete alternatives, and then click + icon to add it to **Device Groups**.
5. Start typing the User Group name in the **User Group Select** field, click on the desired result from the auto-complete alternatives, and then click + icon to add it to** User Groups**.
6. (Optional) Click - the icon on any of the fields to remove a User Group or Device Group.
7. Click **Save**.

You created a new Device Realm by matching a device group with a user group.

:::hint{type="info"}
When a user logs in to Single Connect, the Menu Screens to be used are not displayed if there is no defined portal functions realm for the user’s user groups. After creating the device realm, the portal functions realm should be defined between the user groups and the **netright.discovery.moduleVisibility **portal function, so that users can access devices in the created Device Group from the portal menu screen. See also [Menu Lists Management](docId\:JjLmc9wDTMp7_TF41VOcD).
