Hello,

I would like to know if there is and how to assign VMware monitoring to a specific management zone. I have in mind a situation where I would like to assign access to the monitored VMware to a specific group of users (with permissions per&nbsp; management zone). While to the other groups/MZone to limit these permissions.

Thanks 🙂

PS:&nbsp;I don’t want to use tags, I would like to make the whole VMware tab available

Yes [@maciej\_polanski](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/46884)&nbsp;, you can made the 3 following rules on your MZ:

```markup
type(HYPERVISOR),toRelationships.manages(type(VCENTER),detectedName("XXXXXXXX"))
type(VCENTER),detectedName("XXXXXXXX")
Dimensional rule for METRIC where METRIC_KEY begins with 'builtin:'

```
