# Tagged Entity Search

**Early Access:** Tagged Entity Search: This feature requires support to enable. Please contact your Veza customer success team for more details, and to enable the feature.

*Tagged Entity Search* provides a way to search the data catalog based on any [tag](/4yItIzMvkpAvMVFAamTf/features/search/tags.md) that Veza users have applied, or any cloud provider tags Veza has discovered.

* [Searching for Tagged Entities](#searching-for-tagged-entities)
* [Viewing tags discovered by Veza](#viewing-tags-discovered-by-veza)

### Searching for Tagged Entities

Use the **Access Visibility** > *Tagged Entities* panel (in the Products section of the navigation sidebar) to view all tagged entities. You can filter to show only results with tags that have a specific *type*, *key*, or *value*.

![Search for Tagged Entities.](/files/nV6HUU30N5uUvOV2Y1ZA)

Each row shows a single tagged entity, identified by the *Name* and *ID* columns. The *Tags* column lists the tags applied to each entity. From this screen, you can:

* Remove a Veza Tag by clicking on the *x* next to the tag name (Veza tags are shown in purple).
* Show authorization relationships for the entity in graph search (*Open in Access Graph*).
* Click on an entity name to view additional details and node properties.

Use the dropdown menus at the top of the screen to filter the list of tags:

* *Tag Type*: show only Veza, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform tags or labels
* *Key*: show only tags with a matching key (such as `environment`)
* *Value*: show only tags with a matching value, (such as `production`)

### Viewing tags discovered by Veza

To see all cloud native and Veza tags that exist on entities in the data catalog, open **Data Catalog** > *Tags*. Choose a tab to show AWS, GCP, or Veza tags (the options will depend on your configured providers). Each row represents a key:value pair Veza has discovered.

You can use this panel to view all Tags, and open results in Tagged Entity Search:

1. Open the **Veza Tags**, **AWS Tags**, or **GCP Tags** tab.
2. Use the search bar to filter the results if needed.
3. Click *View all tagged entities*.

To to remove a Veza Tag from the entities it applies to using **Data Catalog** > *Tags*:

1. Open the *Veza Tags* tab.
2. Filter to find the specific tag.
3. Click *View All Tagged Entities*
4. Find the entity on the **Tagged Entities** list, and click *Remove Tag*.

> To add or remove non-Veza tags, you will need access to the provider's administration console. See the official documentation for more information about [AWS Tags](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws_tagging.html) and Google Cloud [Tags](https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/tags/tags-overview) and [Labels](https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/creating-managing-labels).
