Product Update: Introducing User Groups for InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated

What's this blog post about?

InfluxDB has introduced User Groups for its InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated, enhancing security through access control. This feature allows for more granular access management by limiting access to limited accounts and enabling the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP). It also lays the groundwork for future Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) implementation. Key benefits include enhanced security, data protection, and a foundation for ABAC. User Groups are assigned through configuration files, requiring active oversight to avoid unintentional full access. The feature is available immediately for InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated users, who can request its enablement via support tickets.
