Manage resource groups

EDAS lets you grant resource group permissions to RAM users. A RAM user who has these permissions can manage all resources in the resource group. For more information, see Permission management overview.

Scenarios

• A company uses EDAS to build its business applications. Department A is responsible for the User Center application, and Department B is responsible for the Product Hub application.
• Both departments share a single EDAS service that is managed by one Alibaba Cloud account. Each department has a separate RAM user. Department A has several dedicated ECS and SLB instances to deploy the User Center application.
• The company creates a resource group in EDAS. It adds Department A's ECS and SLB instances to this resource group. Then, it grants permissions on this resource group to Department A's RAM user.
• When Department A uses its RAM user, it can manage only the resources within this resource group. This prevents conflicts between Department A and Department B.
