View and Manage Assignment Rules

The Assignment rules page in FinOps for Cloud allows you to add a new automatic resource assignment rule.

From this page, you can also reapply the entire ruleset to all resources within a selected pool, even if the ruleset was previously assigned manually.

You can manage existing rules and search for specific rules using filters such as Name, Assigned To, Conditions, and Priority.

Viewing assignment rules

  1. Navigate to the Pools page.

  2. Select Configure assignment rules. The list of rules is displayed.

  • Assign to - The pool and the owner to whom the resource is assigned.

  • Conditions - Shows a summary of the conditions that trigger the rule.

  • Priority - Displays the priority used to apply assignment rules to resources.

The Actions column on the Assignment Rules page contains options you can use to manage your existing rules.
