Access allocations

Required permissions​

  • To view allocations, you must have one of the following permissions: Cloud Analytics Admin, Allocations Admin, Cloud Analytics User, or Cloud Analytics Read Only.

  • To create, edit, or manage allocations, you must have the Cloud Analytics Admin or Allocations Admin permission.

Permissions on custom allocations

A custom allocation is visible only to those with whom the allocation has been shared or those with the Cloud Analytics Admin permission. See Share allocations for more information.

Access allocations​

To access allocations in the DoiT console, select Allocation > Allocations from the top navigation mega menu.

The Allocations screen

There are two types of allocations: preset and custom. According to the number of allocation rules they have, allocations are also divided into single-rule and group allocations.

The Allocations list is displayed in the following order:

  • A read-only Presets folder that contains all preset allocations. This folder is maintained by DoiT and cannot be renamed, moved, or deleted.

  • Folders created by you and other users in your organization to group custom allocations.

  • Managed allocations maintained by DoiT.

  • Custom allocations not in any folders.

You can filter allocations by property; the results include matches from any folder. You cannot filter folders at the moment.

View allocation configuration​

To view the detailed configuration of an allocation, select its name on the main Allocations screen to open the specific allocation page.

Organize allocations​

You can organize custom allocations in two ways: folders and labels.

Folders​

DoiT supports a folder hierarchy that allows you to organize custom allocations effectively, keeping your workspace manageable and easy to navigate.

This hierarchy is shared across three entity types: reports, allocations, and metrics. Any folder operation, such as creating, editing, moving, or deleting, performed to one entity type will automatically apply to the others.

Labels​

You can assign labels to allocations to enhance your FinOps capabilities through improved visibility.
