Step 8: Adding Users and Setting Permissions
You can add your team to start collaborating on building data pipelines.
User and Permissions Best Practices
Adding Users
Users must be added to your organization before they can access projects or environments. After a user is added, you'll need to give them user permissions.
Organization Administrators
Only Organization administrators can add users.
Username and Password
- Go to Org Settings > Users.
- Click Add New User.
- Fill in user details and select an initial role.
- Users will receive an email to set their password.
SSO
If you are using SSO, they are provisioned when first logging into Coalesce. New SSO users are given the role of Org Member.
- Go to Org Settings > Users.
- Click on Actions next to the user, and select Edit.
- Select the role the user should have.
Setting User Permissions
Each user will need a permission level set. Coalesce uses Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with three permission levels:
Role Types
- Organization - They tend to have access to organization level settings such as being able to create projects for the organization. Review Organization Roles for an in-depth explanation of each organization role.
- Project - These roles can work in the project they are assigned to. This is where data architects and data engineers will be assigned to build out the data pipeline. Review Project Roles for an in-depth explanation of each organization role.
- Environment - Environment roles can deploy pipelines and view documentation. These are good for data and business analysts who need to review information or operations to deploy pipelines. Review Environment Roles for an in-depth explanation of each organization role.

- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) - Go over all roles before assigning to users.
- SSO - Review our SSO implementations.
