Bundles

Admins can create bundles—collections of resources and groups, contextualized by anticipated usage—to allow users to easily request access to common collections, without over-provisioning access.

A bundle is a wrapper for resources. Any resource or group contained in a bundle retains its established policies and configurations. Adding an item to a bundle does not change its admin, owner, approval policies, or visibility settings.

You can manage bundles in the Opal dashboard, using the REST API, or with Terraform.

Create and manage bundles

You must be an Opal admin to create a bundle.

Create bundles

Go to the Inventory and select the Bundles tab.

Click on the + Bundle button.

Name your bundle and add an optional description:

Set an admin

Select an Opal Owner to own adding and removing items from the bundle.

The admin does not gain permission to directly add users to any resources and groups contained in the bundle.

Add resources and groups

After you create the bundle, use the Resources and Groups tabs to add items to the bundle.

User flow: request bundles

Go to the Catalog and select the Bundles tab. Click on the appropriate bundle.

Bulk select

Select the resources you need Opal to bulk request.

Bulk request

Deselect any resources you don't need and submit your bulk request.

The sent request includes the status of each item's reviewers and their responses.
