# Build Groups

Last updated on Jan 01, 2024

Build Groups allow you to limit build distribution to a select group of Agents. Each Build Group includes Initiator Agents and Helper Agents. By default, every Agent is assigned to the **Default** Build Group.

You can assign an Agent to a different Build Group in the Coordinator's Agent List.

You can view the Build Group of every agent in the **Coordinator Monitor >** **Agent List's** **Build Group** column.
