Collaborate with teams
The ChaosCenter has a built in teaming feature to facilitate collaboration between users using project level role access, the core concepts of which are discussed below.
Project level roles
Each user has a default project created on user creation by the admin for which they maintain a project level Owner access. Every Owner has the ability to invite other users into their project with different permission levels, namely Executor, and Viewer.
Teaming is based on the following principles and each user can have one of the 3 project roles:
- Owner: One who created the project and owns it. Only the owner has permission to manage(invite or remove) the members in his/her project. The owner can create resources such as infrastructures, probes, hubs, experiments, etc, schedule chaos experiments, update and delete chaos experiments.They have both create and execute perimissions.
- Executor: Members invited with the executor role only have execute and view permissions which allow them to run/stop experiments, use probes etc, they don't have any create/delete permissions.
- Viewer: Members having a viewer role can only view the analytics related to the chaos experiments and the chaos experiments themselves, but are not given permission to schedule chaos experiments in the project.
Role privileges
Note: A user will be the owner of his/her project by default.
As the Project Owner you can:
- Invite other users for the following roles:
- Viewer
- Executor
- View the list of team members with other details including their role in the project, email-id, date-time of joining the project team.
- Rename your project.
- Remove a member from your project.
- Check the status of the invitation you sent to other members.
- Edit the user role in case the invitation is pending.
- Cancel the invitation.
As a Viewer or Executor you can:
- Check and Accept/Decline the received invitations.
- Switch and browse any project you are a member of.
- Can leave the project you are a part of, except your own.
Note: The settings page will not be visible to you if you are browsing someone else’s project. You can only view it if you are the project owner.
