Create and Manage Resource Groups

A resource group lets you efficiently manage related buckets, access control, and cost tracking. A resource group is also used as a scope for role assignments: when you assign a role to a user or user group with a resource-group scope, that user or group gets the role’s permissions for all buckets in that resource group. Roles are assigned to users and user groups, not to the resource group itself.

Only users with the Administrator role can create, edit, or delete resource groups, and can assign roles that are scoped to resource groups. Users without this role may be able to see resource groups that they have been granted access to, but cannot change resource group configuration.
