This topic describes how to create a resource attribute and assign it to a resource. Assigning an attribute does not immediately grant or deny access. It only labels the resource so that a policy can reference this attribute.

​
Create a resource attribute

  1. In Access Control, click Resource Attributes.
  2. Click Create Resource Attribute.
  3. Configure the attribute settings and click Save.

​
Attribute data types

Prefer Enum over Boolean for statuses like employment type. It is easier to add a third value (e.g., “Part-Time”) to an Enum than to restructure Boolean logic later.

​
Assign a resource attribute

  1. In Access Control, click Resource Attributes.
  2. In Resource Attributes, find the resource attribute to use.
  3. Click Options, then select Assign.
  4. Select the resource type you want to manage, Assets, Channels, or Runs.
  5. In search field, enter the name of the resource to manage.
  6. In the search results, select your resource.
  7. Click Update.
  8. Select a value for the attribute.
  9. Click Next.
  10. Review your changes, and then click Update.
