      * DevOps Administrator role: Can edit all tools.
      * Other DevOps roles: Can view the tool.
      {#rally-connect-workspace__ul_csp_h5c_xwb}  
      Note:  
      If you don't select a group and skip this step, all users with the DevOps Tool Owner role will be able to edit the tool.
   2. If you choose to control access to the tool, the All App Owners can view and associate tool objects to applications option becomes available for selection.  
      This option enables all users having the DevOps App Owner role to access the tool. If selected, they'll be able to view, associate, discover, import historical data, and modify pipeline steps (if applicable) of the tool's objects.
   3. Select Assign.
