Resource groups

A resource group is a logical grouping of models that manages access to and provides security for the models within it. When you create a resource group, it is assigned to the root resource group. You assign roles that grant specific privileges to a user within a resource group, and not to a model directly. This section describes how to create scripts to perform functions for resource groups.

This section contains the following topics:

Creating a new resource group
Use the createResourceGroup method to create a new resource group.
Creating a new resource group with a description
Use the createResourceGroupWithDescription method to create a new resource group with a description.
Creating multiple resource groups from a list
You can use the provided information to create a script that creates multiple resource groups from a list of resource groups.
Retrieving a resource group
Use the fetchResourceGroup method to retrieve the resource group of particular model.
Retrieving all resource groups
Use the fetchAllResourceGroups method to retrieve a list of all of resource groups.
Retrieving all resource groups and their descriptions
Use the getAllResourceGroupsAndDescriptions method to retrieve a list of all of resource groups with their descriptions.
Retrieving all users for a role in a resource group
You can use the provided information to create a script that lists all of the users assigned to a specific role within a particular resource group.
Changing the resource group description
Use the changeResourceGroupDescription method to change the description of a resource group.
Changing the resource group of a resource
Use the changeResourceGroup method to change the resource group for a model. When you change the resource group of the model, members of the new resource group acquire new privileges. These privileges might not be the same as the privileges in the previous resource group.
Changing the resource group for a list of resources
Use the changeResourceGroupBulk method to change the resource group for a list of models.
Deleting a resource group
Use the deleteResourceGroup method to delete a resource group. When you delete a resource group, any models belonging to that resource group are moved to the root resource group.
