Groups

Groups relate together individual members and provide a scalable way to assign access to and

for specific

collections

. When

onboarding new members

, add them to a group to have them automatically inherit that group's configured permissions.



note

Groups are available to

Teams and Enterprise organizations

.

Organizations can designate access to

based on member groups, rather than individual members. Group-collection associations provide a deep level of access control and scalability to sharing resources. One common group-collection methodology is to create Groups by Department and Collections by Function, for example:

Other common methodologies include Collections by Vendor or System (for example, members in an Engineering group are assigned to a AWS Credentials collection) and Groups by Locality (for example, members are assigned to a US Employees group or UK Employees group).
