Managing Permissions and Access Control in Spacelift

In today's fast-paced cloud environment, managing permissions and access control is crucial to ensure the security and efficiency of your infrastructure management. Spacelift provides robust tools for controlling who can access your projects and what actions they can perform. This article will guide you through the process of managing permissions and access control effectively within Spacelift.

Understanding Roles and Permissions

Spacelift utilizes a role-based access control (RBAC) system, which allows you to assign specific roles to users or teams. Each role comes with a predetermined set of permissions that dictate what actions users can carry out within the platform.

  • Admin: Full access to all projects and settings.
  • Developer: Can view and edit project configurations but has limited administrative capabilities.
  • Viewer: Can only view project details without making any changes.

Step-by-Step Guide to Managing Permissions

Follow these steps to manage permissions and access control within your Spacelift account:

  • Log in to your Spacelift account.
  • Navigate to the 'Settings' section in the sidebar.
  • Click on the 'User Management' tab.
  • Here, you will see a list of current users and their assigned roles. To edit a user's role, click the 'Edit' button next to their name.
  • In the role dropdown menu, select the appropriate role you wish to assign (Admin, Developer, Viewer).
  • After making the changes, click 'Save' to apply the new permissions.
  • To remove a user, click on the 'Remove' button next to their name, and confirm the action.
  • Review the permissions regularly to ensure that user roles are appropriate for their current responsibilities.

    • Best Practices for Access Control

    To maintain a secure environment, consider following these best practices:

    • Regularly audit user access and permissions.
    • Implement the principle of least privilege by granting users the minimum required access.
    • Utilize multi-factor authentication (MFA) for enhanced security.

    By effectively managing permissions and access control in Spacelift, you can enhance the security of your infrastructure and ensure that your team has the right level of access to perform their duties. For additional support, don't hesitate to reach out to Spacelift's customer service.
