You can use asset groups to control access to a set of assets. By grouping assets, you can grant or restrict access to multiple assets at a time.
You can use asset groups in access policies to control access to a group of assets among users based on parameters such as their location, business area, or function within the organization. For the access policies associated with asset groups to take effect, assign the asset groups to specific assets in Data Governance and Catalog or associate asset groups to assets when you run a catalog source job in Metadata Command Center. After the access policies with asset groups are published, the visibility of assets is enforced based on whether the assets are associated with asset groups.
When you create an asset group, you can create a hierarchy by selecting a parent asset group.
The following image shows the Asset Groups tab with a list of asset groups in hierarchy in Metadata Command Center:
