Control user access to projects

When you sign up for a $1000-credit, 30-day free trial, Tiger Cloud creates a project with built-in role-based access.

This includes the following roles:

• Owner: Tiger Cloud assigns this role to you when your project is created. As the Owner, you can add and delete other users, transfer project ownership, administer services, and edit project settings.
• Admin: the Owner assigns this role to other users in the project. A user with the Admin role has the same scope of rights as the Owner but cannot transfer project ownership.
• Developer: the Owner and Admins assign this role to other users in the project. A Developer can build, deploy, and operate services across projects, but does not have administrative privileges over users, roles, or billing. A Developer can invite other users to the project, but only with the Viewer role.
• Viewer: the Owner and Admins assign this role to other users in the project. A Viewer has limited, read-only access to Tiger Console. This means that a Viewer cannot modify services and their configurations in any way. A Viewer has no access to Data view and has read-queries-only access to SQL editor.

If you have the Enterprise pricing plan, you can use your company SAML identity provider to log in to Console.

User roles in a Tiger Cloud project do not overlap with the database-level roles for the individual services. This page describes the project roles available in Console. For the database-level user roles, see Manage data security in your Tiger Cloud service.

Add a user to your project

New users do not need to have a Tiger Cloud account before you add them, they are prompted to create one when they respond to the confirmation email. Existing users join a project in addition to the other projects they are already members of.

To add a user to a project:

1. In Tiger Console, click Users, then click Add new user
2. Type the email address of the person that you want to add, select their role, and click Invite user

   Enterprise pricing plan and SAML users receive a notification in Console. Users in the other pricing plans receive a confirmation email. The new user then joins the project.
