System groups
A system group is a group of users (subjects) to which you can assign roles. Yandex Cloud has two types of system groups: All users in organization X
and All users in federation N
. These groups allow you to grant access to your resources for a specific user group, but only for the operations that are allowed by the assigned role. System groups do not include service accounts.
System groups are dynamic: any new user added to an organization or federation automatically inherits all the permissions assigned to that organization or federation. When a user is removed from an organization or federation, those permissions are automatically revoked.
Granting roles with extensive permissions, such as editor
or admin
, to system groups poses a significant security risk.
