# Node group settings

Every setting on a node group, and where to change it. Node groups are used to organise nodes according to device type, operating system, applications, and any other combination of defining criteria. For more information on node groups, see [Node Groups](https://docs.cloudhouse.com/guardian/classic/inventory/monitored/node-groups/node-groups/index.md).

Applies to: `Guardian Classic`

To access an existing node group's settings, complete the following steps:

1. In the Guardian web application, navigate to the **Monitored** tab (**Inventory** > **Monitored**).

**Edit**

**Policies**
:   View, edit, or delete the node group's assigned policies. For more information, see [Node Group Policies](https://docs.cloudhouse.com/guardian/classic/inventory/monitored/node-groups/settings/node-group-policies/index.md).

**Policy Documentation**
:   Download a PDF containing the definition of each policy that is currently applied against the node group.

**Users**

        Users with the 'member' role only have access to node groups they are assigned to. Here, you can assign a member to the node group to grant them access to the configuration data. For more information on user roles, see [Users](https://docs.cloudhouse.com/guardian/classic/account/users/users/index.md).

**Delete**
:   Permanently delete the node group.
