This page will walk you through users and orgs and the differences between them. You will also learn about the different user and how to add or remove users.
Org: This refers to a customer account that can be managed. An Org can be a User if used for an individual account or a team if used for a group of users.
User: This refers to an individual user. In Nimbus, a user is tied to one individual e-mail address.

Users

There are two primary user roles:
  • Admins have full access to Nimbus. They can:
    • Manage org-level details (e.g. org name, github integration, etc.)
    • Add or remove users
    • Create, update or delete templates at the org level
    • Create, update, or delete workspaces and snapshots at the user level.
    • Admins can not access a user’s workspace or snapshot unless the user provides access.
  • Members have access that is limited to developing on Nimbus. They can:
    • Create, update or delete templates at the org level
    • Create, update, or delete workspaces and snapshots at the user level.
  • Custom roles can be created based on specific needs. This is a great way to get access needed for different teams like IT, DevOps, SRE, etc.
Adding users:
  • Click the blue “Invite Users” button in the top right of the page
  • Add the email address of the user you’d like to invite and select the user role to be assigned
  • When the invited user signs up via the invite link, they will be automatically assigned to the org
    • If the user already has an account, they will need to sign up with a different email address or an email subaddress.
Removing users:
  • Click the drop-down next to the user you’d like to remove
  • You will have the option to “Remove user” in the drop-down. Select this option and confirm the selection in the pop up window to remove the user completely
