How to Manage Groups

Note: Users, Networks and Policies attach to Groups.

Overview

• System groups are created automatically.

• By default, the root account is attached to all system groups.

• System groups can easily be identified by the descriptor ‘AdministratorGroup’ in the group name.

• Users that are members of these system groups are IAM Users or Admins and can sign in to the Gopher dashboard with delegated admin rights and administer the system.
