# Managed Groups
|
|
|
|
A managed group is a resource that represents a collection of [accounts][]. The
|
|
collection is formed by evaluating account information defined by the [auth
|
|
method][]'s identity provider against the managed group's configuration; members
|
|
cannot be managed manually. An account can be associated with zero or more
|
|
managed groups within the same [auth method][]. The managed group can be used as
|
|
a principal within [roles][] to assign grants.
|
|
|
|
## Attributes
|
|
|
|
All managed group types have the following configurable attributes:
|
|
|
|
- `name` - (optional)
|
|
If set, the `name` must be unique within the account's [auth method][].
|
|
|
|
- `description` - (optional)
|
|
|
|
### OIDC Managed Group Information and Attributes
|
|
|
|
Membership in OIDC managed groups is evaluated when the auth method is used for
|
|
authentication, based on information contained within the OIDC ID token and the
|
|
OIDC User Info endpoint. Every authentication will result in a new evaluation of
|
|
managed group membership.
|
|
|
|
OIDC managed groups have the following additional attributes:
|
|
|
|
- `filter` - (required)
|
|
A boolean expression defining a filter run against the provided information.
|
|
For general syntax information see the [filtering concepts][] page; for more
|
|
specific information on the data available for this purpose see the [OIDC
|
|
Managed Groups Filtering][] page.
