About Groups
This page explains the major features of PW groups. We use groups on the platform to assign user permissions, designate cost allocations, manage cloud service providers, and share resources between users.
The steps included on this page can only be completed by users with either the org:admin or org:groups role. For more information, please see About Group Roles.
Navigating to the Groups Page
Navigate to your organization settings (Username > Organization).
On the next page, click Groups.
Creating Groups
In the Groups tab, click + New Group.
Enter a Name for your group.
Optionally, enter a Description.
Click Create Group.
The new group will now be listed in the Groups tab.
Adding Users to Groups
After you create a group, you can add new members to it on the same page.
In the section Manage users in group, click the Select user dropdown menu.
From the dropdown menu, click the member in your organization that you'd like to add.
A dialog box will appear with the message Added user [username] to the group, and the new user will be listed with the other group members below the dropdown menu.
Because Group is a cluster configuration setting, we recommend letting your users know if they're in multiple groups and which group they should use for their clusters.
Removing Users From Groups
If you need to remove members from a group, click the remove icon next to the user's name.
After you click the remove icon, a dialog box will appear with the message User removed from group, and the user will be removed from the list below the dropdown menu.
Removing a user from a group will only affect their permissions and which group they may use to provision cloud resources. Their account and their access to the platform will not be affected.
Assigning Roles
To add roles, click the empty checkbox for whichever permissions you want this group to have.
To remove roles, click the blue checkboxes to disable existing permissions.
When you’re done, click Save Roles. Your changes will be applied immediately.
Limiting Keys
By default, all users in a group can access all keys in your organization. To customize access, toggle the Limit Keys button.
Select the keys that you want this group to have access to. Click Save Key Settings. Your changes will be applied immediately.
