User Roles & Permissions

Structure

Cloud Thinker uses a workspace-based structure to organize users and manage permissions. Each workspace is set up as follows:

• 1 Owner

• 1 Admin

• 1 or more Developers

This structure ensures clear lines of responsibility and appropriate access levels for effective user management.

Rationale and Benefits

This role-based access control system is designed to:

1. Ensure financial control remains with the workspace owner

2. Allow efficient management of the workspace by the admin

3. Provide developers with the access they need without risking accidental changes to crucial settings

By structuring permissions this way, we support effective cloud cost optimization by:

• Maintaining clear oversight of financial aspects (Owner)

• Enabling strong day-to-day management of cost optimization efforts (Admin)

• Allowing hands-on use of Cloud Thinker without risking workspace integrity (Developer)

This structure promotes collaboration while maintaining appropriate access controls, crucial for managing and optimizing cloud costs effectively.
