## Organize your data
To keep your hosts structured and easy to manage, use **Groups** and **Vaults** to organize your infrastructure. This helps you separate environments, simplify navigation, and control access across your team.
Learn more in [Groups and tags](/organize-and-connect-to-hosts/groups-and-tags.md) and [Team vaults](/team-collaboration/team-vaults.md).
