Manage

Granting access to others on your account is done with several sets of data principles:

1. Accounts have Account Members.
2. Account Members have policies.
3. Policies are constructed out of actors, roles, and scopes.

When assigning a new user, you can assign a policy to them directly. If multiple policies are needed, they can be added or revoked at a later time.

Learn how to add new account members, edit or revoke their access, and resend verification emails.
