# Admin Groups

## Purpose

Use this form to define SDS Administrative Groups.

System Data Synchronization allows you to share system form data among groups of elements at different sharing scopes. Administrative groups are sub-groups of elements within a network group. Elements that are members of a administrative group, share SDS form data at the Administrative Group Members scope. See About System Data Synchronization for a diagram of the SDS group hierarchy and a list of the SDS sharing scopes.

Multi-node Management applications are supported for SDS Administrative Groups. These applications, such as Application Reach Through, Fault Management, and Backup and Restore, allow an administrator to manage the elements within the Administrative Group.
