Can CMM use AWS tags that have been assigned to servers?

Instead of manually adding servers to a group, a group can be configured to automatically add new servers based on their AWS tags. Furthermore, if a tag is removed from a server, that server will automatically be removed from all corresponding groups as well.
This can be configured by an Admin user from the Basic Details tab of the Edit Group screen.
If this option is enabled, it is not possible to manually add servers to a group - only servers with the corresponding tags assigned in AWS will be assigned to the group. If this option is then disabled, servers can manually be added again but the servers that were assigned based on their tags will be lost from the group.
Note - This feature will only assign servers to a group but it will not necessarily bring them under CMM management.
