Members and Roles
Invite team members, assign roles, and manage permissions within your BlameTrail organization.
BlameTrail uses role-based access control to manage what each team member can do within an organization. Invite members, assign roles, and organize people into teams from the Organization > People page.
Roles
Every member is assigned one of three roles:
| Role | Permissions |
|---|---|
| Owner | Full access to all resources. Can manage billing, delete the organization, and perform all Admin and Member actions. Each organization has exactly one Owner. |
| Admin | Can create and manage services, monitors, integrations, and webhook endpoints. Can invite and remove members, and change roles (except Owner). Cannot access billing or delete the organization. |
| Member | View-only access to dashboards, incidents, deploys, and analyses. Cannot create or modify resources, manage integrations, or invite other members. |
Inviting members
- Navigate to Organization > People.
- Click Invite Member.
- Enter the email address of the person you want to invite.
- Select a role (Admin or Member).
- Click Send Invitation.
The invited user receives an email with a link to join the organization. If they do not already have a BlameTrail account, they are prompted to create one. The invitation expires after 7 days.
Pending invitations
Pending invitations are listed on the People page. Admins and Owners can:
- Resend an invitation if the original email was missed.
- Revoke an invitation before it is accepted.
Changing roles
Owners and Admins can change a member's role from the People page:
- Find the member in the list.
- Click the role dropdown next to their name.
- Select the new role.
Role changes take effect immediately. Note that only the Owner can promote a member to Admin, and only the Owner can transfer ownership.
Removing members
To remove a member from the organization:
- Navigate to Organization > People.
- Click the options menu next to the member's name.
- Select Remove Member.
- Confirm the removal.
Removed members lose access to all organization resources immediately. Their past activity (e.g., deploy events attributed to them) remains in the system.
Teams
Teams provide an optional way to group members within an organization. Navigate to Organization > Teams to create and manage teams.
Teams are useful for organizing members by function (e.g., Backend, Frontend, Infrastructure) or by service ownership. Team membership does not affect permissions -- roles still control access.
Member limits
The number of members allowed in an organization depends on your plan:
| Plan | Maximum members |
|---|---|
| Free | 1 |
| Starter | 10 |
| Pro | Unlimited |
See Plans and Pricing for full plan details.
