> On the order form, users choose which network each NIC connects to and how its IP address is assigned

The available networks depend on the group and environment selected on the order form.

## Choose which networks are available

Control which networks a group can use on its Networks tab. You need permission to manage the group's networks.

1. Go to **Groups** and select a group to open its details.
1. Select the **Networks** tab. Each row is a network associated with the group, and each column is a NIC. Use the **NIC columns to show** selector to set how many NIC columns appear (1 to 10; four by default).
1. In the cell where a network and a NIC intersect, use the toggle to make that network available on that NIC.

Environments work the same way: go to **Admin** > **Environments**, select an environment, and open its **Networks** tab. In some environments, such as AWS and Azure, the tab also has an import button (**Import Subnets**, or **Import VPC Subnets** in an AWS environment) that brings in subnets before you enable them.

When a NIC has more than one network enabled, the user chooses one at order time.

To create new networks, or to configure the IP addressing options available for a given network, see [Networks](/docs/cmp/configure/infrastructure/networks/). To assign addresses from a range held on the network, see [IP ranges](/docs/cmp/configure/infrastructure/networks/ipam/ip-ranges/).
