User management

User management is a feature within Aura that allows you to invite users and set their roles within an isolated environment.

Projects

Grant users access to a project.

The project you’re currently viewing is displayed in the header of the console. You can select the project name to open the project dropdown menu, allowing you to view all the projects that you have access to and switch between them.

Additionally, you can perform the following actions from the Project Settings page. You can access the Settings page by selecting Settings from the sidebar menu of the console.

  • Edit the name of the project you are currently viewing by selecting the pencil icon next to the project name. This action requires you to be an Admin of the project.

  • Copy the Project ID by selecting the clipboard icon that appears next to the Project ID.

Users

Each project can have multiple users with individual accounts allowing access to the same environment.

The users with access to a project can be viewed and managed from the Users page. You can access the Users page by selecting Users from the sidebar menu of the console.

Roles

Users within a project can be assigned one of the following roles:

  • Project Admin

  • Project Member

  • Project Viewer

  • Project Metrics Integration Reader

Inviting users

As an Admin, to invite a new user:

  1. Select Invite user from the User page.

  2. Enter the Email address of the person you want to invite.

  3. Select the user’s Role.

  4. Select Invite.

The new user will appear within the list of users on the User page with the Pending invite Status until they accept the invite.

An email will be sent to the user with a link to accept the invite.

Editing users

As an Admin, to edit an existing user’s role:

  1. Select the more actions (three dots) icon next to the user’s name from the User page.

  2. Select the user’s new Role.

Accepting an invite

When invited to a project, you will receive an email with a link to accept the invite. This link will direct you to the Aura console, where a Project invitation modal will appear. You can select the project(s) you have been invited to and choose to accept or decline the invite(s).

User management within the Aura console does not replace built-in roles or fine-grained RBAC at the database level.
