# Protector Mode

Extra powers for cyber security professionals using antMan a fast and flexible test lab.

The *Protector Mode* is available to all users with antMan Grow or Scale. To enable Protector Mode, head over to settings in your left hand menu. Scroll down to preferences and toggle switch from `off` to `on`.

## Group Management for Antlets

The first new power that comes in Protector Mode is managing antlets as a group. You can select multiple antlets and perform common actions on them: 

1. Start
2. Stop
3. Restart
4. Delete
5. Take snapshot
6. Restore to last snapshot

The action you choose will only affect the applicable antlets. For example, if you choose `start`, it will start only the antlets that are stopped.

The group rollback action takes each antlet  back by **one snapshot**, it does not take roll it back to the last group snapshot.
