# Assign users to Platform Health groups

In addition to assigning Impact users to groups, Platform Health users must also be part of a group for the Scan Engine feature.

## Before you begin

**Important:** Navigation to reach this step differs depending on whether you're using the [Impact Setup Hub](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/impact/use-impact-setup-hub.md) or the legacy [Guided Setup](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/impact/guided-setup-impact-in-app.md). See whichever one applies to you for the exact path.

Feature allocation and availability in the Platform Health Scan Engine is based on role and group assignment. See [Track Platform Health trends](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/impact/scan-engine-diagnostic-dashboards.md) for additional information on role-based feature availability.

Role required: impact app admin or admin

## Procedure

1.  [Assign roles](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/impact/assign-roles.md).

2.  Select the checkbox next to each role you want to assign.

3.  Select **Assign users**.

4.  [Create a development team](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/impact/create-development-team.md).

    Development teams are necessary so each persona can access the relevant Platform Health dashboard.


## What to do next

If a role assignment changed, affected users must log out and log back in to your instance for the permissions to apply.
