# Set User Privileges for Network Security Groups

Contract administrators and owner can create and manage NSGs within a data center. Contract sub-users need appropriate privileges to use and modify NSGs, without which they have read-only access and cannot provision changes. You can grant appropriate NSG privileges to contract sub-users via the **User Manager**.

If you turn off the privilege, your contract sub-users can manage the defined NSGs, provided they can access the respective data center.

To allow users to create NSGs, follow these steps:

1\. In the **DCD**, go to **Menu** > **MANAGEMENT** > **Users & Groups**.

2\. Select **Groups** tab in the **User Manager** window.

3\. Select the appropriate group to assign relevant privileges.

4\. In the **Privileges** tab, select the **Create Network Security Groups** checkbox to allow the group members to create and use it.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Result:** The group and its users are granted appropriate privileges.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/security/network-security-groups/how-tos/set-user-privileges.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
