If a developer is in a large organization and has access to 25+ templates, it would be difficult to find which templates are relevant to them in a long list.

Just because a developer has access to 25+ templates doesn't necessarily mean they should all be shown to them, as it's possible only 1-2 relevant to their use case. I have also wanted to hide/group templates from other users when I'm still iterating on them.

Some ideas:

  • Folders for templates (Retool does this)
  • Some way to see templates for groups (e.g. "frontend")
  • Tags for templates and admins can set default filter in /templates (group:any(mine), os:fullstack)

One advantage to going with folders is an entire folder can have RBAC (e.g. frontend group can read all templates in this folder, ops group can write)

Is this still important after we support multiple organizations?

Sorry, missed your message. I'd say they serve different cases.

We may solve this with a concept of projects under each organization. Each project will have independent templates/workspaces.

Also related to #7318 in case when a user has too many templates.

I think we should solve #7318 before we add pinning, folders or tags. Sorting and searching across our core views is table-stakes.

This is not at the scale of our other roadmap items, so I am removing the label.
