Users and permissions

Scalr supports fine grained permission management for users.

There are three types of users in Scalr.

• Account owner. Can create and remove teams. Can create and assign team owners to teams. Can grant and revoke team access to environments.
• Team owner. Can create and modify team users. Can create permission groups. Can grant full or permission group permissions to team users.
• Team users.

And then there are teams. Teams are collections of users that have an access over environments that is defined by the team owner through permission groups.

Permission groups are sets of permissions that can be assigned to one or more team users. These permission groups are sufficiently fine grained to control most Scalr functionality. Below is the list as of Jan 18, 2012.
