Sematext User Roles
Typically you might have one person create an account by signing up. When using Sematext as a team we recommend creating a team account. Such an account can then serve as a parent account for your whole organization or team.
Owner¶
Since the person who created the account would be its OWNER, this person
is typically a team leader or manager, somebody with the responsibility to
oversee the DevOps pipeline of the whole organization or team. They might then choose
to share the whole Account with every other person from the team/organization
to allow others to easily access all Apps, Dashboards, Alert Rules, etc. created under that account.
Admin¶
Some invited users might be given the ADMIN role, which gives
them read, write, and invite rights.
User¶
Other invitees might get the
USER role, which mostly only grants read rights with the ability to
create and edit their own Dashboards, Alerts, and Subscriptions which are
available to everyone under the shared account.
Billing Admin¶
In some cases, the account OWNER will not be able to handle billing-related
info and will want to invite one or more BILLING_ADMINs who will be able to define,
edit, and delete credit cards and choose plans to be used for Apps in the
account.
