+Subscriber and Connectivity Management
+======================================
+
+Subscriber management includes workflows associated with provisioning new subscribers, removing
+existing subscribers, and associating subscribers with virtual connectivity services.
+
+Provisioning a new UE
+---------------------
+
+Before a UE can be granted connectivity service, it must first be provisioned. This step is normally
+performed by Aether Operations.
+
+Each UE is assigned a PLMN and a set of security keys. Depending on the deployment scenario, these
+keys might be shared by several UEs, or they might be unique to each UE. The allocation of PLMNs and
+keys is currently performed manually by the Aether Operations team. This subscriber-related
+detail is configured via the SIM Management application, Simapp.
+
+`simapp.yaml` needs to be adjusted to include the new UE IMSIs to the subscriber list. For example::
+
+ # simapp.yaml
+ # ...
+ simapp.yaml:
+ info:
+ version: 1.0.0
+ description: SIMAPP initial local configuration
+ logger:
+ # network function
+ APP:
+ debugLevel: info
+ ReportCaller: false
+ configuration:
+ provision-network-slice: false

+TODO: This file will probably be placed under gitops control once the 5G ROC is deployed. Document
+the new location of the file.
+
+Configure Connectivity Service for a new UE
+-------------------------------------------
+
+To receive connectivity service, a UE must be added to a DeviceGroup. An enterprise is typically
+organized into one or more sites, each site which may contain one or more DeviceGroups. Navigate
+to the site you where the device will be deployed, find the appropriate device group, and add
+the UE's IMSI to the DeviceGroup.
+
+TODO: Describe GUI process and add Picture
+
+Note: For 4G service, a UE may participate in at most one DeviceGroup, and that DeviceGroup may
+participate in at most one VCS. For 5G service, a UE can participate in many DeviceGroups, and each
+DeviceGroup may participate in many VCSes.
+
+Remove Connectivity Service from an existing UE
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+Using the ROC GUI, navigate to the Device Group that contains the UE,
+then remove that UE's IMSI from the list. If you are removing a single UE, and the
+DeviceGroup is configured with a range specifier that includes several IMSIs,
+then it might be necessary to split that range into multiple ranges.
+
+TODO: Describe GUI process and add Picture
+
+Note: The UE may continue to have connectivity until its next detach/attach cycle.
+
+Create a new DeviceGroup
+------------------------
+
+DeviceGroups allow UEs to be grouped and configured together. Each site comes preconfigured with
+a default DeviceGroup, but additional DeviceGroups may be created. For example, placing all IP
+Cameras in an my-site-ip-cameras DeviceGroup would allow you to group IP Cameras together.
+
+TODO: Describe GUI process and add Picture
+
+Delete a DeviceGroup
+--------------------
+
+IF a DeviceGroup is no longer needed, it can be deleted. Deleting a DeviceGroup will not cause
+the UEs participating in the group to automatically be moved elsewhere.
+
+TODO: Describe GUI process and add Picture
+
+Add a DeviceGroup to a Virtual Connectivity Service (VCS)
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+In order to participate in the connectivity service, a DeviceGroup must be associated with
+a Virtual Connectivity Service (VCS).
