Access, users and teams

MK.IO uses role-based access control (RBAC) to manage who can access resources and what they can do. Users are assigned permissions through teams, allowing you to control access to projects across your organization.

Concepts

• Organization: A company or group that uses MK.IO.
• Project: Holds resources such as assets, live events, and transforms. Projects are linked to an organization and to a subscription or payment method for billing.
• User: An individual who may belong to multiple teams and organizations. A user’s permissions are granted through teams.
• Team: A group of users within an organization. Teams are granted permissions on projects and resources.

The first user in an organization is automatically granted Administrators access. Administrators have full control over the system, including the ability to invite users and create new teams.

Manage teams

Project access is granted to users through teams. By default, every organization has two predefined teams: Administrators and Everyone.

• Administrators — full access and administrative rights to all projects, including organization-level permissions such as viewing billing information.
• Everyone — automatically includes all users in the organization. By default, this team provides access to all projects at a permission level set by Administrators: either User or Reader. Optionally, it can be configured to have no access.
