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.

For an Element (e.g. DB), there's a naming convention the name of the element itself. Or, a tag where the element has specific naming conventions in place.

DFQ on a element name or a tag.

And then when a Team is created, the customer can specify an automated way (e.g. dynamic grouping) to have elements automatically added to the existing access controls.

Most of this already works with team association for user created items, with contribution filters in AP (which applies to Infra structure area inherently) with mostly areas not include which don't support granular RBAC access at all currently (like Logs, or Infra alerting & custom events).

Please let me know if and why team association tagging would not resolve this need already.
