Manage users of your organization

General rights concept​

When a user signs up for Camunda Platform 8, they receive a personal organization. Clusters the user creates in this organization are assigned to this organization.

If several users need access to the same Zeebe cluster, all users can be assigned to the same organization.

Users​

The first user in an organization is the owner of the organization. An owner has all rights in an organization and can manage all settings accordingly. An organization cannot have more than one owner.

To change the owner of the organization, utilize the user administration. The current owner selects another member of the organization, and selects Assign as Owner from the menu. In the dialog that appears, select which new roles are to be assigned to the current owner.

Roles and permissions​

In addition to the owner, the Admin role is available as a second role with comprehensive rights. The admin role has the same rights as the owner, with the difference that an admin cannot manage other admins.

The following roles are additionally available, providing dedicated rights for specific elements in Camunda Platform 8.

  • Operations Engineer: Full access to Console and Operate, except cluster deletion privileges
  • Analyst: Full access to Optimize and read-only access to clusters
  • Task User: Full access to Tasklist and read-only access to clusters
  • Developer: Full access to Console, except deletion privileges; full access to Operate and Tasklist
  • Visitor: Read-only access

Users can be assigned multiple roles. For example, a user can have the role of Operations Engineer and Task User, which gives them access to Operate and Tasklist.

Users are invited to a Camunda Platform 8 organization via their email address, which must be accepted by the user. The user remains in the Pending state until the invitation is accepted.

People who do not yet have a Camunda Platform 8 account can also be invited to an organization. To access the organization, however, the invited individual must first create a Camunda Platform 8 account by following the instructions in the invitation email.
