  1. Log in to Yandex Identity Hub using an administrator or organization owner account.

  2. In the left-hand panel, select Groups.

  3. In the row with the group you need, click and select Edit.

  4. Enter a new name or description for the group.

    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.
  5. Click Save.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

  1. View the description of the command to edit a Identity Hub user group:

    yc organization-manager group update --help
    
  2. To edit a user group, run this command:

    yc organization-manager group update \
      --name <group_name> \
      --new-name <new_name_for_group> \
      --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.
    • --new-name: New name for the user group.

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

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

With Terraform, you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

Terraform is distributed under the Business Source License. The Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform is distributed under the MPL-2.0 license.

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

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

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

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

    Where:

    • name: New 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: New group description.

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

  2. Create resources:

    1. In the terminal, go to the directory where you edited the configuration file.

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

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is correct, you will get this message:

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      
    3. Run this command:

      terraform plan
      

      You will see a detailed list of resources. No changes will be made at this step. If the configuration contains any errors, Terraform will show them.

    4. Apply the changes:

      terraform apply
      
    5. Type yes and press Enter to confirm the changes.

    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 get \
      --name <group_name> \
      --organization-id <organization_ID>
    

Use the Group.update REST API method for the Group resource or the GroupService/Update gRPC API call.
