Thanks for taking the time out to respond - it is greatly appreciated. I am starting to grok how this all works. I going to have to play around with the inheritance/subset scenario from zonegroup level definitions to bucket level definitions.

If no flows are configured, the sync is not allowed. * In case if the group (say, 'us-bucket') is created at bucket-level, the data-flows (if any) created for that group ('us-bucket') should be subset of what zonegroup level policy ('us') allows. And that group policy ('us-bucket') pipes use the flows in the following order (a) the data-flows created for that bucket-level group policy ('us-bucket') (b) if no flows are created, it then inherits the data flow allowed at zonegroup level ('us').
