Groups

A group is a resource that represents a collection of users which can be treated equally for the purposes of access control. A group is a principal which allows it to be assigned to roles. Any role assigned to a group is indirectly assigned to the users in the group. This assignment is a transitive property. A user in a group receives all permissions of the roles assigned to the group. Groups can be defined at the Global, Organization, or Project scope.
