Initial Resource Group support is being implemented in #6217. At first glance, I'm unsure if this specific feature request requires separate SSM updates.

Looks like SSM does not need it's own resource. When I enter the resource group page from console home, it brings me to system manager resource groups. Will reopen if #6217 does not resolve after merging to master.

I am part of the team behind AWS Resource Groups - I can confirm that #6217 should solve your need here. While Resource Groups and Systems Manager share a console, there is no SSM-specific requirement to use Resource Groups.
