Manage Groups

Access to AWS accounts managed by Stax is governed by Groups. Groups can be assigned access to either built-in Stax roles by assigning AWS roles to a group, or to a customized Permission Set. Adding or removing users from groups updates the Stax-managed AWS accounts they have access to.
