User Management

CloudZero allows you to manage user access to your organization through the following features:

  • User roles specify a user's level of access to platform features and settings.
  • User groups specify a user's level of access to specific spend data.
ℹ️

To invite a new user to CloudZero, invite the user to join your CloudZero organization.

Ask the user to navigate to https://app.cloudzero.com and create an account using an email address matching the email domain your organization was set up with. The new user will automatically join the organization.

User roles

CloudZero supports three types of user roles:

  • Organizer: Grants full access to all features and all data on the platform.
  • Editor: Grants read, create, and edit access for non-administrative features.
  • Viewer (formerly called Member): Grants read-only access for non-administrative features.

In addition, if you are an Organizer, you can control a user's access to specific spend data by assigning the user to one or more user groups.

View and manage your organization's users

If you are an Organizer, you can view a list of all users in your organization on the Users page:

Users page in the CloudZero UI

This page includes the following information for each user:

  • Email address
  • Groups the user is a member of
  • Role

On this page, you can also change a user's role or remove a user from the system.

To change a user's role, select a role from the drop-down menu in the Role column:

Change a user role in the CloudZero Users page

To delete a user from CloudZero, select the trash can icon:

Delete a user in the CloudZero Users page

Limit access to spend data

Organizers can control a user's access to spend data through user groups. New users are automatically added to the default group, which grants All Access unless modified by an Organizer.

Organizers can also move users to a different group or add them to multiple groups.
