# Commvault Console - Adding Associated Entities to a User Group

You can create and apply tags to entities for a user group.

A tag is a pair of a key and an optional value. You can use tags to categorize resources, which makes searching easier. You can assign a tag to a number of entities such as virtual machines, hypervisors, VM groups, file servers, databases, laptops, servers, and server groups.
