Need the ability to dynamically populate Teams access

The customer has the need for the access controls for Teams to be dynamically populate.  The customer has strict naming conventions.   Those naming standards can be applied to things like tags, application names, website names, etc.   The expectation is that when a new resource is added to the systems (Infrastructure Entity, application, etc.) that the resource is visible to the team that is responsible for the resource.  

Today, when you build a Team, you must assign specific application names or websites, etc.   For infrastructure entities, the DFQ does allow the use of wildcards, but might need more flexibility.  For example, REGEX.   

If/when Instana implements Groups, the same approach should be considered for the population of groups.

    As discussed on the call, when a user creates a new entity (website, mobile app, synthetic test, etc) the Team association tag should be enforced and not optional.
    That is the intended behavior and will be addressed as a bug internally.

    Owners (or other non-team members) can create/update entities with optional Team association and can also be multiple teams associated.
