Dataplex Entry Group

Docs > DDSQL Reference > Data Directory > Dataplex Entry Group

A Dataplex Entry Group in Google Cloud is a logical container used to organize and manage metadata entries within Dataplex. It helps group related data assets, such as tables, files, or streams, under a common context for easier discovery, governance, and policy enforcement. Entry Groups enable consistent metadata management across data lakes and warehouses.
