Chronosphere Observability Platform identifies users and services by their
accounts. As an administrator, you can organize accounts into teams and define
those teams’ permissions.
A user account
represents a user’s identity in Observability Platform.
A service account
represents a service’s identity in Observability Platform.
A team organizes accounts into
groups and defines permissions for sensitive management and administrative
operations.
Add accounts to teams based on the permissions you want grant to those accounts. For
example, to make a user or service account an administrator, assign it to a team
that has the SysAdmin role. This grants the account access to special Observability
Platform features, including team and account management and assignment.
In the navigation menu, click Go to Admin and then select
Platform > Users.The left-hand column lists all accounts. The list includes icons for
additional context about each entry type:
Icon
Description
An active user account.
A service account.
An invited user who’s yet to confirm their account.
A deactivated user account.
A System Administrator icon to the right of an entry
indicates either a team that has the System Administrator (SysAdmin) role, or
a user or service account that’s a member of a team with that role.To view details about an account, select its name from the list. To filter by
account name, enter part or all of the account’s name in the Search field.
To filter by account type or status, click the filter icon.When you select an account, Observability Platform displays the account’s team
Memberships and Recent User Actions.If your user account belongs to a team with the SysAdmin role, this view also
provides options to add or remove the account from teams.
In the navigation menu, click Go to Admin and then select
Platform > Teams.The table lists all teams by name and other details about their configuration:
Role: The role granted to all accounts in the team. The SysAdmin role
grants administrative privileges.
Source: The source of this team’s configuration. UI teams are
configured in Observability Platform and can be edited in the app by users with
the SysAdmin role. Terraform teams are configured exclusively through
Terraform.
Description: A description of the team.
To view a team’s home page, click
its name in the list. If your user account is part of a team with the SysAdmin
role, you can edit the team’s name, role, description, links, and membership
from its home page.
You can use Chronoctl to list teams and their member accounts.
This output includes the email address associated with each account. If an account’s
email address is an alphanumeric Observability Platform
slug at the serviceaccount.chronosphere.io domain, that
member is a service account. Other
email addresses represent user accounts.
To view accounts and teams with Chronoctl, you must authenticate as a user
that belongs to a team with the SysAdmin role, or as an unrestricted
service account.
To list each team and its member accounts in separate YAML documents with
Chronoctl, use the teams list command. You can also use
this output as a template for updating each team separately using Chronoctl.
chronoctl teams list
The output contains YAML documents separated by three dashes (---). Each document
contains one team and any of its member accounts.For example, this output lists a team named Control team with one user account
and one service account as members, and a second team named DBAs with two
user account members:
To list all teams with the Chronosphere API, use the
ListTeams endpoint.To view a single team, use the
ReadTeams endpoint.Because the Chronosphere API requires authentication, include an API token with your
curl request, as shown in the following example. For more details, see
Create an API token.
Grant System Administrator (SysAdmin) privileges to a team
A user account that’s a member of a team with
the SysAdmin role has administrative access to Observability Platform features,
including the abilities to create teams and user accounts, assign users to teams,
and define team permissions.For instructions about assigning roles to a team, see
Add a role to a team.
