Manage Asset Groups

The Asset Groups page lets you view, edit, and organize your asset groups. Asset groups are collections of assets used for policy assignment, reporting, and structural organization.

Viewing the Group List

Navigate to Assets > Asset Groups in the sidebar to open the group list. The table displays one row per group with the following columns:

Column	Description
Name	The group name (click to open the detail page)
Description	The group description (truncated if long)
Parent Group	The parent group name, or empty if this is a root-level group
Tags	Tags assigned to the group
Status	Active or Inactive
Asset Count	The number of assets currently in the group
Created	When the group was created
Updated	When the group was last modified

Group Detail Page

Click on a group Name to open its detail page. The detail page is organized into the following tabs:

Dashboard Tab

The default tab displays the group's aggregated posture status:

• Overall posture score across all group members
• Per-policy breakdown showing pass/fail/error counts for each assigned policy
• Last evaluation date

Overview Tab

Shows the group's core properties:

• Name and Description
• Parent Group (clickable link if set, or "None (Root)" for top-level groups)
• Status (Active/Inactive)
• Tags
• Created and Updated timestamps

Assets Tab

Lists all assets that are members of this group. The asset count is shown in the tab label (e.g., "Assets (42)").

From this tab you can:

• Browse the member assets in a searchable, sortable table
• Add Assets to the group
• Remove Assets from the group
• Click on an asset name to navigate to its detail page

Sub-Groups Tab

Lists any child groups nested under this group. The count is shown in the tab label (e.g., "Sub-Groups (3)").

From this tab you can:

• View and navigate to child groups
• Create new sub-groups (they will automatically have this group set as their parent)

Policies Tab

Shows all policies assigned to this group. Policies assigned at the group level apply to every asset in the group.

Findings Tab

Displays all findings generated from policy evaluations across the group's member assets.

Editing a Group

1. Open the group detail page.
2. Click the Actions button in the top-right corner.
3. Select Edit.
4. Update the group's name, description, parent group, tags, or active status.
5. Click Save.

TIP

Changing a group's parent group moves it in the hierarchy but does not affect its member assets or policy assignments.

Deleting a Group

1. Open the group detail page.
2. Click the Actions button.
3. Select Delete.
4. Confirm the deletion in the dialog.

WARNING

Deleting a group does not delete the assets inside it. Assets that were members of the deleted group become ungrouped (their group assignment is cleared). Policies that were assigned to the group are also removed from those assets.

What Happens to Sub-Groups?

If you delete a group that has sub-groups (child groups), the sub-groups become root-level groups. Their parent group reference is cleared, but they retain their own assets and policy assignments.

Adding Assets to a Group

From the Group Detail

1. Open the group detail page and go to the Assets tab.
2. Click Add Assets.
3. Search for assets by name in the selection dialog.
4. Select the assets you want to add.
5. Confirm.

From an Individual Asset

1. Open the edit form for an asset.
2. Select the target group from the Group dropdown.
3. Click Update.

INFO

An asset can belong to only one group at a time. Adding an asset to a new group automatically removes it from its previous group.

Removing Assets from a Group

From the Group Detail

1. Open the group detail page and go to the Assets tab.
2. Find the asset you want to remove.
3. Click the remove/delete action on the asset row.

From an Individual Asset

1. Open the edit form for the asset.
2. Clear the Group dropdown selection.
3. Click Update.

Working with Hierarchical Groups

Asset groups support a parent-child hierarchy for organizational structure:

All Infrastructure
  ├── Cloud
  │   ├── AWS Production
  │   ├── Azure Production
  │   └── GCP Development
  └── On-Premises
      ├── Data Center A
      └── Data Center B

Key behaviors:

• Navigation: Click parent group names to navigate up the hierarchy; click sub-group names to navigate down
• Policies: Policies are applied per group, not inherited. Assigning a policy to "Cloud" does not automatically apply it to "AWS Production"
• Deletion: Deleting a parent promotes its children to root level
