You can add regular expressions (regex) to AutoActions templates when you narrow the scope of User and Project with Only or Except. You must first select the scope (User, Project, Time ) and only specify the regular expressions in the Transform box. Ensure always to select a scope before you specify the regex.

In the following example, regex is used to define the user scope.

{"enabled":true,"admin":true,"policy_name":"BigQuery Job","policy_id":1121,"instance_id":"6252699361701385875","name_by_user":"Long running BigQuery Job","description_by_user":"AutoAction policy for BigQuery jobs that exceed duration or slot MS thresholds.","created_by":"admin","last_edited_by":"admin","created_at":1667411797141,"updated_at":1667411797141,"entity_type":"bigquery","rules":[{"scope":"bigqueryjobs","metric":"bigqueryDuration","compare":">=","value":1}],"actions":[],"cluster_mode":0,"cluster_list":[],"cluster_transform":"","queue_mode":0,"queue_list":[],"queue_transform":"","user_mode":2,"user_list":["vlad","sandip"],"user_transform":"regex/^.*[.](.+)[.](.+)$/$2/","app_mode":1,"app_list":[],"app_transform":"","sustain_mode":0,"sustain_time":0,"time_mode":0}
