# Adding Groups

RealityHub allows you to group your Hosts to control various features, such as **launching all Engines simultaneously** or [assigning channels](https://zerodensitydocumentation.gitbook.io/docs/realityhub-1.3/realityhub-1.3/installation-and-configuration/configuration-steps/engine-module-configuration/channel-assignments) to a group of Engines.&#x20;

It is an essential feature for **multiple engine configurations**.
