# Create a New Tag

Create asset or IP range tags and optionally assign them to users and groups for scoped access.

Perform these steps to create a new Asset Tag or IP Range Tag and, optionally, to associate that tag with specific users and user groups to restrict access using SBAC. Refer to [Manage User Scope](/cortex-xpanse/users-and-roles/manage-user-scope.md) for more information about how SBAC works.

1. Navigate to the appropriate asset list view page under **Inventory**.
2. Select one or more rows in the list.

   On the **Unified Inventory** page, you can add tags to only one asset at a time. On the asset-specific pages (**Domains**, **Certificates**, **Owned IPv4 Ranges**, etc), you can add tags to multiple assets at once.
3. Right click and select **Assign Asset Tags** or **Assign IP Range Tags**, as appropriate.
4. In the **Add tag...** field, enter the name of the new tag and click **Create Tag**.

   Asset tags are case sensitive and support special characters.
5. Optionally, check **Add selected tags to Users or Groups** and select the appropriate users and user groups to use the new tag to restrict or permit access.
6. Click **Save**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xpanse/inventory/asset-tagging/create-a-new-tag.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
