Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Service developers and administrators can't easily group instances in HA for a specific purpose, e.g. by department.

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow instance to be grouped by a paramter in the registration metadata. Users then access specific group by a parameter in the URL.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Group by serviceID - may cause other problems with existing deployments and clients.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how HA instances consume registration metadata and how URL parameters select services. Clarify the grouping parameter, its interaction with serviceID, and the expected behavior for existing deployments and clients. Done means instances can register into a group and users can reliably access that group through the URL.
