Manage groups

The Manage Groups tab is where groups are created and edited by hand.

  1. On Cloud Groups → Manage Groups, click New Group.
  2. Name the group (e.g. “Platform Engineering”) and optionally add business metadata such as environment or cost center — useful for chargeback context.
  3. Assign members: tick the Azure subscriptions and AWS accounts that belong to it.
  4. Save. The group immediately appears in the group report and the global filter.

Open a group to add or remove subscriptions/accounts at any time. If exclusive membership is enabled and you assign an account that already belongs to another group, CloudOptify points out the conflict so allocation stays clean.

Deleting a group removes the grouping only — it never touches the underlying cloud accounts or their data. Reports or alerts scoped to that group are flagged so you can re-scope them.
