# Tutorial: Configure Access to Networks and Services

## Overview

This tutorial shows how to grant access to specific networks and services at the group level.

## Prerequisites

- An installed Access Server.
- Configured users and at least one group.
- The address for your network or service.
- Group access control enabled (follow [Tutorial: How to Configure Group Access Control](https://openvpn.net/as-docs/tutorials/tutorial--group-access-control.md)).

## Step 1: Configure access to networks and services

1. Start with this [Tutorial: How to Configure Group Access Control](https://openvpn.net/as-docs/tutorials/tutorial--group-access-control.md) to ensure you've set up group access control.
2. Click **More Settings** for the group you're giving access privileges.
3. Under **Allow Access To networks and services**, enter subnets as **network/nbits** or services as **network/nbits:services**.
4. Select **Save Settings** and **Update Running Server**.

   > **Tip**
   >
   > For a subnet, when you want the reference to represent that single IP address, you enter /32, per CIDR address formatting.
