Managing Public Resource Groups

Scenarios

Public resource groups are visible to all users and are authorized by department and role.

You can create public resource groups based on the department to which a resource belongs and the services it provides. This allows the users in the current department and its upper-level departments to quickly view and manage resources by group.

Notes and Constraints

• A maximum of 10 levels are supported, and a maximum of 100 resource groups can be created at each level.
• A maximum of 10,000 public resource groups can be created in an instance.
