Account groups

Accounts and Account Groups enable you to edit and group accounts that are accessed with Cloudability. They also function like tags for AWS accounts, Azure Subscriptions and GCP projects. They allow you to assign a key/value pair where Account Group is the key and Account Group Entry maps the value. For example, you might create an Account Group of Environment and use Account Group Entries to assign a value of "Production", "Staging" or "Development" to individual cloud accounts in Cloudability.

Groups are used to categorize your accounts according to different variables. You can designate the key values for your groups; you might, for example, have groups called "Region, "Product," and "Department." This will allow you to categorize individual accounts according to which region, product, and department they're associated with.
