Managing Tags in Conductor

Tags are metadata in Conductor, formatted as key:value, that can be applied to various entities like tasks, workflows, schedulers, secrets, webhooks, AI prompts, environment variables, integrations, and applications. Tags help in bulk permission sharing by associating permissions with specific tags.

Using Tags for Permission Sharing in Bulk​

In addition to tagging individual entities, you can use tags for bulk permission sharing by assigning them to user groups or applications.

Using User Groups​

To grant permissions to a group of users:

1. Tag the Entities

Ensure that the relevant entities are tagged with a specific tag, for example team:accounts.

2. Update Group Permissions

To add permissions to the group,

1. Navigate to Access Control > Groups and click the edit icon next to the group name.
2. In the Permissions section, click +Add Permission.
3. Choose the Tag section, select the required tag, and assign the necessary permissions. Typically, you’ll need to provide EXECUTE permission for execution rights and READ permission to list the entities.
4. Clicking Add Permission adds the tags to the group.
5. Click on the > to view all the entities tagged.

This configuration grants all group members execute and read access to the tagged entities simplifying permission management for large teams.

Using Applications

To grant permissions to an application:

1. Tag the Entities

Ensure that the relevant entities are tagged with a specific tag, for example team:accounts.

2. Update Group Permissions

To add permissions to an application,

1. Navigate to Access Control > Applications and click the edit icon next to the application name.
2. In the Permissions section, click +Add Permission.
3. Choose the Tag section, select the required tag, and assign the necessary permissions. Typically, you’ll need to provide EXECUTE permission for execution rights and READ permission to list the entities.
4. Clicking Add Permission adds the tags to the application.
5. Click on the > to view all the entities tagged.

This configuration grants the application execute and read access to the tagged entities simplifying permission management for large teams.
