Project Groups Guide
Learn how to use Project Groups to systematically classify and manage multiple projects within GIIP.
📋 Overview
Project Groups allow you to group and manage projects with similar characteristics as a single unit in large-scale infrastructure environments. For example, You can increase management efficiency by dividing groups by purpose, such as 'Service Ops', 'R&D', or 'Staging'.
🔍 Key Features
1. Group Creation & Configuration
- Add New Group: Create a new management unit by entering a group name and description.
- Assign Projects: Assign existing projects to the respective group. A project can only belong to one group.
2. Resource Summary per Group
Displays the aggregated resource usage (number of servers, number of databases, etc.) of all projects belonging to each group. This allows you to understand the resource share by department or service category at a glance.
3. Batch Policy Application
Provides the foundation for applying or changing security settings or notification policies in bulk for all projects within a specific group.
🛠️ Management Steps
- Navigate to the GIIP [Project Management] > [Project Groups] menu.
- Click the [Add] button at the top and enter group info.
- Select a group from the list to edit the sub-projects.
💡 Tips

Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| A project cannot be added to a group | The project already belongs to another group (a project can only belong to one group) | Remove it from the existing group, then reassign it to the desired group |
| The per-group resource summary shows 0 | No projects have been assigned to the group yet | Select the group, edit its sub-projects, and assign projects |
| A batch policy is not applied to some projects | Projects were added after the policy was applied | Re-apply the group policy in bulk |
| A new group does not appear in the list filter | The list has not yet reflected the newly created group | Refresh the list and re-apply the Project Group filter |
