This article provides the steps required to view and manage resources.

Resources include all objects which make up a deployment such as virtual machines, load balancers, SQL servers, etc. It also includes backing services such as security groups, disk volumes, key pairs, etc.

Resources are the children object of deployments, so users require access to deployments to access their resources.
