Usage

Resource groups associate policies with resources. When a resource specifies a group, that group's policy is evaluated during Phase 3 (resource phase).

Examples

Basic Resource Groups

resource-groups:
  - mrn: "mrn:iam:resource-group:public"
    name: public
    description: "Publicly accessible resources"
    policy: "mrn:iam:policy:allow-all"

  - mrn: "mrn:iam:resource-group:default"
    name: default
    description: "Default for authenticated access"
    default: true
    policy: "mrn:iam:policy:authenticated-only"

  - mrn: "mrn:iam:resource-group:sensitive"
    name: sensitive
    description: "Requires elevated permissions"
    policy: "mrn:iam:policy:clearance-required"

With Annotations

resource-groups:
  - mrn: "mrn:iam:resource-group:pii-data"
    name: pii-data
    description: "Personally identifiable information"
    policy: "mrn:iam:policy:pii-access"
    annotations:
      - name: "compliance"
        value: "\"GDPR\""
      - name: "retention_days"
        value: "365"
      - name: "audit_required"
        value: "true"

Using YAML Anchors

policies:
  - mrn: &share-policy "mrn:iam:policy:share-by-clearance"
    name: share-by-clearance
    rego: |
      package authz
      # ... clearance-based policy

resource-groups:
  - mrn: "mrn:iam:resource-group:classified"
    name: classified
    policy: *share-policy

Default Resource Group

Mark one resource group as default: true to apply it to resources that don't specify a group:

resource-groups:
  - mrn: "mrn:iam:resource-group:default"
    name: default
    default: true
    policy: "mrn:iam:policy:authenticated-only"
