Groups are used to give principals the capabilities to access CDF resources. One principal can be a member in multiple groups and one group can have multiple members. Note that having more than 20 groups per principal is not supported and may result in login issues. Groups can either be managed through the external identity provider for the project or managed by CDF. - **Group Membership Managed Externally**: Groups membership is managed by the external identity provider. It is not possible edit or see the members of these groups in CDF. - **Group Membership Managed within CDF**: Lets you see and edit group membership in CDF instead of relying on the external identity provider.
