Resource Groups

A Resource Group collects a set of resources such as data sources and assets, reports, or pipelines for the purpose of domain-scoped access control. A Resource Group is assigned to one or more domains, and the users with access to that domain can view or modify only the resources the group contains, based on their Domain Role.

For background on how domains, resource groups, and roles work together, see Authorization and Domains.

ADOC supports three types of resource groups:

  • Asset Group: a group of data sources or individual assets.
  • Report Group: a group of reports.
  • Pipeline Group: a group of pipelines, selected by data source, individual pipeline, or a name pattern. See Pipeline Groups for full details.

Managing Resource Groups

Navigate to Control Center > Access Management > Resource Groups to view, filter, and search existing resource groups.

  • Filter by Type: Narrow results by selecting a type (Asset Group, Report Group, or Pipeline Group).
  • Search: Search resource groups by name.
  • Table columns:
    • Name: The resource group's name.
    • Type: Indicates whether it is an Asset Group, Report Group, or Pipeline Group.
    • Domains: The number of domains this resource group is assigned to.
    • Resources: A summary of what the group contains (for example, the number of data sources).
    • Created By, Last Updated By, Last Updated At: Audit details.
