# Managing Agent Dynamic Groups

Dynamic Groups let you manage access for your AI agents by shared Attributes instead of by individual Agent. This article walks through creating, viewing, editing, and deleting Dynamic Groups directly from the **Groups** tab in the **AI Agent Registry**, and shows how to review the Policies tied to a group.

The **AI Agent Registry** includes a **Groups** tab, alongside the existing **Agents** tab, where you can manage **Dynamic Groups** for your agents directly from the registry.

A Dynamic Group applies a **Policy** to Identities that share a common **Attribute** value, instead of managing access per individual Agent. When an Agent's Attributes change, the Platform automatically updates its Dynamic Group membership.

The Groups tab table shows each Dynamic Group's **Name**, **Description**, and the number of Policies associated with it.

### Creating a Dynamic Group from the Agent Registry

**To create a Dynamic Group:**

1. From the **AI Agent Registry**, click the **Groups** tab.
2. Click **+ Create Group**.
3. In the side panel, enter a **Name** and, optionally, a **Description**.
4. In **Define Dynamic Group Rules**, select an Identity Attribute, an Operator, and a Value. Click **And** or **Or** to add further rules. See [Managing Dynamic Groups](/v1/docs/managing-dynamic-groups) to learn more about Dynamic Group rules.
5. Click **Save**.

The new Dynamic Group appears in the Groups tab table.

### Viewing and Editing a Dynamic Group

Click a Dynamic Group's row to open it in View mode. The side panel shows two tabs:

- **Details**: the group's Name, Description, and rule set.
- **Policies**: a read-only list of Policies associated with the group. Click **Manage** on a Policy to open it directly.

To edit a group, hover over its row and click the pencil icon, or open the group and click **Edit**. Update the fields and click **Save**.

### Deleting a Dynamic Group

**To delete a Dynamic Group:**

1. Open the Dynamic Group you want to delete.
2. Click **Delete Dynamic Group**.
3. Confirm the deletion.

Grouping agents dynamically means you set access rules once and let the Platform keep membership current as Attributes change, so you don't need to update Policies every time an agent's role or metadata shifts. For more on how the underlying rule logic works, see [Managing Dynamic Groups](/v1/docs/managing-dynamic-groups) in the Identities Workspace documentation.
