Configuring access to the workspace

About workspace roles

For each user and API key, the assigned role determines the actions that they can perform within the workspace.

The available workspace roles are:

• Owner - Every workspace must have at least one owner. The user who creates the workspace is automatically an owner. Other users and API keys also can be assigned as owners. Owners have full access to the workspace. They can:

  • Create and manage databases.

  • Manage workspace access.

• Editor - A workspace editor can create and manage databases. They cannot manage access to the workspace.

• Viewer - A workspace viewer can view the databases in a workspace and generate data. They cannot change any database configuration.

Adding a user to the workspace

The user must already be added to your account.

To add an account user to the workspace:

1. Click Add User.

2. From the dropdown list, select the user to add.

3. By default, the user is granted the Viewer workspace role. To assign a different role, from the Account Role dropdown list, select the new role to assign.

Adding an API key to the workspace

The API key must already be added to your account.

To add an API key to the workspace:

1. Click Add API Key.

Note that each workspace must have at least one workspace owner.

Note that each workspace must have at least one workspace owner.
