    BAS provides a lot of flexibility for customising resources for different deployments. Good practice here would be to use the BAS resource definition versions to define the major versions of a resource definition (i.e. for completely different use-cases) and then to rely on the ability of a resource assignment to modify attributes in a resource definition to make any minor changes for slightly different target scopes. Have you considered or implemented such an approach already? If you need more information around the usage of resource assignments in BAS, I am happy to provide it.
