Teams

A team defines how an organization grants permissions for sensitive management and administrative operations to accounts, including user accounts and service accounts.

A team’s accounts have a shared responsibility for certain services. Chronosphere Observability Platform represents those services as collections, which contain resources related to the service a collection represents, such as dashboards and monitors. A team can own multiple collections.

All user and service accounts in a team that has the special System Administrator (SysAdmin) role are administrators. If you’re an administrator, you can add this role to a team.

Add a role to a team

Observability Platform teams use roles to grant or restrict access. During creation, users are assigned to the Default team, which has the Editor role.

The available roles are:

• Sysadmin: Any account that’s a member of a team with the System Administrator (SysAdmin) role can create user and service accounts, assign them to teams, and define team permissions. Teams and users with this role have a padlock icon () next to their name in the Users & Teams list.

• User Administrator: Users belonging to teams with this permission can update user accounts.

• Editor: Users on teams with the Editor role can create entities within Observability Platform, but can’t update user accounts.

  Service accounts can’t be removed from the Default team.

If a user belongs to multiple teams with different permissions, they inherit the highest level permissions of each assigned team. For example, a user on a team with Editor and a second team with User Administrator permissions has both sets of privileges. All users have at least view access.

The following chart summarizes roles and permissions:
