# ConnectorGroup

The `ConnectorGroup` parameter specifies the name of the connector group for the connector to join.

When a connector registers with a Distributed Connector, it must join a connector group. A connector group is a group of similar connectors (for example, all Filesystem Connectors) that connect to the same repository and access the same files. Each connector in the connector group must have the same `ConnectorGroup` set in its configuration file.

The value of the `ConnectorGroup` parameter is passed to the Distributed Connector when the connector registers. This parameter can take any value.
