Administration — Groups
Internal Axio groups for collaboration and access, plus read-only groups synchronized from your identity provider. These are not runner groups — runner fleet groups live under Runners → Setup.
Overview banner
The page opens with a Group directory summary:
- Chips for internal and synced group counts
- Clickable KPIs: Internal groups, Synced groups, Total members (sum of internal group memberships)
- Refresh reloads teams, synced groups, and permissions
- Identity providers links to identity provider settings
- Create internal group (when permitted) opens the create dialog
Internal groups tab
Table columns:
| Column | Content |
|---|---|
| Name | Clickable — opens a read-only Group details dialog with member list |
| Description | Optional group description |
| Members | Member count |
| Source | Internal chip |
| Actions | Edit and delete (requires team:manage) |
Synced groups tab
Synced groups are provisioned from your authentication provider (for example Microsoft Entra ID or SCIM) and cannot be created, edited, or deleted in Axio. Manage membership in your IdP or SCIM settings.
| Column | Content |
|---|---|
| Name | Clickable — opens read-only group details with resolved member names/emails |
| Source | Provider label (defaults to Identity Provider) |
| External ID | Directory external identifier |
| Members | Synced member count |
| Status | Synced chip |
Create internal group
- Click Create internal group in the overview banner.
- Enter Name (required) and optional Description.
- Confirm to create the group through the organization teams API.
Requires team:manage.
Edit internal group
- Use the pencil icon or Edit group from the details dialog.
- Update name and/or description.
- Add members with the Add internal user autocomplete (assigns team role
MEMBER). - Remove members with the row delete action.
- Save your changes. Member changes are handled through the group membership controls.
Only internal organization users can be added — not IdP-only synced accounts from this dialog.
Delete internal group
- Use the delete icon on a group with zero members.
- If members remain, Axio shows Cannot delete group yet and offers Edit group to remove them first.
- When empty, type
DELETEor the exact group name to confirm.
The API also rejects deletion while members exist.
Permissions
| Action | Permission |
|---|---|
| Open Groups page | team:manage |
| Create / edit / delete internal groups; manage members | team:manage |
| List teams / view synced groups (API) | org:read (broader org read for API list endpoints) |
| Assign roles to groups | role:manage on Roles & Access → Role Assignments |
Using groups for access
- On Role Assignments, choose principal type Group and pick an internal team or synced SCIM group.
- Assignments can be scoped to organization, project, workspace, or environment (same as user assignments).
- When group membership changes, effective access updates for users who receive permissions through that group assignment.
- Internal group membership here is separate from organization membership role (Owner / Admin / Member / Viewer).
About groups
- Groups organize users for collaboration and simplify RBAC assignments.
- Assign custom roles to internal or synced groups from Roles & Access → Role Assignments.
- Changes to internal group membership affect access where that group is assigned a role.
- Legacy group and team pages redirect to the Administration Groups page.
Groups are listed under Administration, not under Organization resource navigation. Do not confuse with runner groups on the Runners page.
