# Resource Groups

Resource Group is a container that holds related resources. The resource group includes those resources that you want to manage as a group. You decide which resources belong in a resource group based on what makes the most sense for your organization.

* A resource group can be used to scope access control for administrative actions.
* You can add or remove a resource to a resource group at any time.
* Each resource can only exist in one resource group.
