Configure Assignment Rules

There are two ways to configure assignment rules in FinOps for Cloud. You can add them from the Pools or Resources pages.

When a new rule is added, it's always prioritized across the organization. It means that any discovered resources are first checked against the conditions of this new rule. If the resource doesn't meet the new rule's conditions, it's checked against the remaining rules in descending order until a matching rule is found.

Configuring a new assignment rule

To configure a new assignment rule:

1. Navigate to the Add automatic Resource Assignment Rule page using one of the following steps:

   • Open the Pools page and select Configure assignment rules. Next, on the Assignment rules page, select Add.

   • Open the Resources page and select a resource. On the resource's details page, select Add assignment rule.

2. Under Name, enter a name for the rule.

3. Under Conditions, select all conditions that must be fulfilled for the rule to become applicable. The following conditions are available:

Type	Key/Value	Description
