You can define multiple security groups and a VM can belong to multiple security groups with each security group having a number of security rules. When deciding on how to manage your security groups and rules, think carefully about what needs to be accessed and who needs to access it. For example, if you will always be connecting to your VM from the same computer with a static IP via SSH it makes sense to allow SSH access only from that IP. To specify the allowed IP or IP range use the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing CIDR] box. Further, if you are only connecting to one VM via ssh from the outside, and then connecting to other VMs within the default security group from that VM it makes sense to add the SSH security rule to a separate group and add that group to the VM you are SSHing to, however, you will also need to ensure your ssh keys are configured correctly to ssh between VMs (see [[Ssh keys | SSH Keys]]).

The security groups a VM belongs to can be chosen when it is created on the ''Launch Instance'' screen under the ''Access & Security'' tab, or after the VM has been launched by selecting ''Edit Security Groups'' form the drop down menu of actions for the VM on the ''Project->Compute->Instances'' page.
