Managing Tags in Conductor

The tags are metadata applied to tasks, workflows, schedulers, or secrets in Conductor. The tags in Conductor are of the format key:value. Tags can be utilized in situations where you can easily share permissions with a group of users.

You can either add tags directly to individual workflows/tasks/secrets. Or you can also add tags to user groups.

Adding Tags to Workflow​s​

Conductor UI​

To add a tag to a workflow,

  1. From the left menu, navigate to WORKFLOWS > Definitions and find the workflow you wish to tag.
  2. In the Actions column, click the tag icon.

Adding a tag to an already created workflow

This will open a pop-up window that allows you to add a new tag. Type a tag name in the format key:value and press enter to create new tags. You may also remove tags from the same window by clicking the "X" next to the tag you wish to delete.

This will open a pop-up window that allows you to add a new tag. Type a tag name in the format key:value and press enter to create new tags. You may also remove tags from the same window by clicking the "X" next to the tag you wish to delete.

Adding Tags to Scheduler​

To add a tag to a scheduler,

  1. From the left menu, navigate to SCHEDULER > Definitions and find the scheduler you wish to tag.

Using Tags for Permission Sharing in Bulk​

The above steps mention adding tags to individual tasks/workflows/schedulers/secrets. However, you can also add tags to a user group that helps in sharing permissions in bulk.

Using User Groups​

Suppose you have a group of users from the accounts team and want to share the workflow execution permission for all users in the group.

To add permissions to the group,

  1. Ensure that the workflow is tagged with the tag team:accounts. (If the permission is to be shared for tasks/secrets, you need to add the tags to the corresponding items.)
  2. Navigate to ACCESS CONTROL > Groups and click the edit icon near your group name.
  3. From the Workflow and Task Permissions section, click +Add Permission.
  4. Choose the Target Type as Tag, choose team:accounts tag, and provide EXECUTE permission.
  5. Clicking Add Permission adds the tag to the Group.

Adding tags to a user group

This enables all the group members to have execute access to the workflow tagged with team:accounts. This would also provide execute access to all tasks/secrets/scheduler flagged with this tag.
