Datastore Grouping FAQ

General

Can a datastore belong to multiple groups?

No. A datastore can belong to zero or one group at a time. If you assign a datastore to a new group, it is automatically removed from the previous group.

Are groups visible to all users?

Yes. Groups are workspace-wide — all users in the workspace see the same groups and the same datastore assignments.

What happens to datastores when I delete a group?

The datastores are not deleted. They simply become ungrouped and appear in the "Ungrouped" section of the tree view.

Can I reorder groups in the tree view?

Groups are displayed in alphabetical order by name. To change the order, rename the groups (e.g., prefix with numbers like "01 - Production", "02 - Staging").

Permissions

Who can create groups?

Only users with the Manager role can create, edit, or delete groups.

Who can assign datastores to groups?

Users with Editor permission on a datastore can assign it to or remove it from a group. You do not need Manager role to assign datastores.

Does assigning a datastore to a group change its permissions?

No. Group membership is purely organizational. It does not affect who can access, edit, or manage the datastore.
