User Management
Control who has access to your organization and what they can do within the platform.
What are users?
A user can be either an individual or, if you're using our API, a programmatic access token with access to the Atlar platform. Each user has unique login credentials and can interact with features and data within the organizations they belong to. Access is determined by the user's assigned role, allowing for a customizable and secure experience based on their responsibilities.
To learn how to add new users to your organization, see Inviting users.
What are roles?
A role defines the permissions and access levels that can be assigned to users in the Atlar platform. Roles are essential for enforcing security and operational protocols, ensuring that users only access the features relevant to their work.
Access is not granted directly to users, but instead to roles — which are then assigned to users. Roles are required when inviting users, as each user must be assigned one.
To learn how to define, configure, and assign user roles, see Configuring user roles.
Best practices
When assigning roles — especially in your production organization — follow the principle of least privilege. This means users should only have access to the data and features necessary for their role.
We also recommend the following:
- Even if you're the organization owner, create a separate personal user account for everyday tasks.
- Enable or require single sign-on (SSO) for all users.
- Enable or require multi-factor authentication (MFA), and ensure at least one backup MFA method is configured.
- Add Atlar access to your company's off-boarding checklist.
