Control Groups are collections of accelerated domains managed through Atomile that help organize your services. By assigning users to these groups, you grant them access to monitor traffic, review billing, and configure services for the domains included in the Control Group.

• If you have multiple contracts with Atomile, such as several CA product contracts, Control Groups allow you to manage CDN domains by contract and organize resources to match your business structure.
• Domains can belong to multiple Control Groups, and users can be assigned to multiple Control Groups at the same time.
