• You can use resource groups to organize your AWS resources.
• A resource group is a collection of AWS resources that are all in the same AWS Region, and that match the criteria specified in the group's query.

  • Tag-based queries include lists of resources and tags.

• Resource groups can be nested; a resource group can contain existing resource groups in the same region.

Use cases for resource groups

• By default, the AWS Management Console is organized by AWS service.
• But with Resource Groups, you can create a custom console that organizes and consolidates information based on criteria specified in tags, or the resources in an AWS CloudFormation stack. 

AWS Resource Groups and permissions

• Resource Groups feature permissions are at the account level.
• As long as users who are sharing your account have the correct IAM permissions, they can work with resource groups that you create.
