Tag Management

Overview

Tags serve as markers for resources. You can assign different tag definitions based on various business needs and purposes. By customizing and attaching tags to resources, you can quickly filter out the required resources and improve search efficiency.

User Permissions

Tags are divided into admin tags and user tags, and you can determine their type by the owner.
  • Admin Tags: Created by the admin and owned by the admin.
  • User Tags: Created by regular users and owned by regular users.
Note: Changing the owner of a tag is not supported.

Admin can detach or delete tags created by regular users. When the ownership of a resource changes, all user tags on it will automatically be detached, while admin tags remain unaffected.
