Atlas User Roles¶

Organization Owner¶

Grants root access to the organization, including:

• Project Owner access to all projects in the organization, even if added to a project with a non-Owner role.
• Privileges to administer organization settings.
• Privileges to add/remove/edit users to the organization.
• Privileges to delete the organization.
• All the privileges granted by the other organization roles combined.

Organization Billing Admin¶

Grants the following access:

• Privileges granted by the Organization Member role.

Organization Member¶

Provides read-only access to the organization (settings, users, and billing) and the projects to which they belong.

For an Organization Member, within a project, the user has the privileges as determined by the user's project role. If a user's project role is Project Owner, then the user can add a new user to the project, which results in adding the newly-added user to the organization as well (if the newly added user is not already in the organization).

Project Owner¶

Grants the privileges to perform the following actions:

• Manage project access and project settings.

• Manage programmatic access to a project.

  You can grant API Keys access to a project with either an organization or a project role. If your key has both the Organization Owner and Project Owner roles, it can access all projects in the organization.

• Retrieve process and audit logs for all clusters in the project.

  To retrieve logs, you must have the Project Data Access Read Only role or higher in the project that the cluster belongs to.

• Manage backups for and restore data to all clusters in the project.
