If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

1. See the description of the command for creating a Cloud Organization user group:

   yc organization-manager group create --help
   

2. To create a user group in Cloud Organization, run this command:

   yc organization-manager group create \
     --name <group_name> \
     --organization-id <organization_ID> \
     --description <group_description>
   

   Where:

   • --name: User group name. This is a required parameter. The name must be unique within the organization and satisfy the relevant requirements:

     • It must be from 1 to 63 characters long.
     • It may contain lowercase Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens.
     • It must start with a letter and cannot end with a hyphen.

   • --organization-id: Organization ID. This is an optional parameter.

   • --description: Text description of the user group. This is an optional parameter.

Terraform allows you to quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. Configuration files store the infrastructure description in the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). Terraform and its providers are distributed under the Business Source License.

For more information about the provider resources, see the documentation on the Terraform website or the mirror.

If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

If you don't have Terraform, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

1. In the configuration file, describe the group parameters:

   resource "yandex_organizationmanager_group" "my-group" {
     name            = "<group_name>"
     description     = "<group_description>"
     organization_id = "<organization_ID>"
   }
   

   Where:

   • name: Group name. The name must be unique within the organization and satisfy the relevant requirements:

     • It must be from 1 to 63 characters long.
     • It may contain lowercase Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens.
     • It must start with a letter and cannot end with a hyphen.

   • description: Group description. This is an optional parameter.

   • organization_id: ID of the organization to add the group to.

2. Create resources:

   1. In the terminal, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.

   2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using the command:

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is correct, the following message is returned:

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      

   3. Run the command:

      terraform plan
      

      The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes are made at this step. If the configuration contains errors, Terraform will point them out.

   4. Apply the configuration changes:

      terraform apply
      

   5. Confirm the changes: type yes in the terminal and press Enter.

   Terraform will create all the required resources. You can check the new resources and their settings using the management console or this CLI command:

   yc organization-manager group list \
     --organization-id <organization_ID>
   

Use the Group.create REST API method for the Group resource or the GroupService/Create gRPC API call.
