During the creation process, you define the scope for what your Azure Virtual Network Manager manages. Your Network Manager only has the delegated access to apply configurations within this scope boundary. Defining a scope can be done directly on a list of subscriptions. However it's recommended to use [management groups](../governance/management-groups/overview.md) to define your scope. Management groups provide hierarchical organization to your subscriptions. After defining the scope, you deploy configuration types including *Connectivity* and the *SecurityAdmin rules* for your Virtual Network Manager.

After you deploy the Virtual Network Manager instance, you create a *network group*, which serves as a logical container of networking resources to apply configurations at scale. You can manually select individual virtual networks to be added to your network group, known as static membership. Or you can use Azure Policy to define conditions that govern your group membership dynamically, or dynamic membership. For more information about Azure Policy initiatives, see [Azure Virtual Network Manager and Azure Policy](concept-network-groups.md#network-groups-and-azure-policy).

Next, you create connectivity and/or security configuration(s) applied to those network groups based on your topology and security needs. A [connectivity configuration](concept-connectivity-configuration.md) enables you to create a mesh or a hub-and-spoke network topology. A [security configuration](concept-security-admins.md) allows you to define a collection of rules that you can apply to one or more network groups at the global level. Once you have created your desired network groups and configurations, you can deploy the configurations to any region of your choosing.
