Four mental models behind Teams and IAM.

Concepts

Four mental models behind Teams and IAM.

Team as ownership boundary

Every resource in Vantage, clusters, storage, jobs, sessions, belongs to exactly one team. Resources are private to that team unless you explicitly share them. When you leave a team, your personal resources remain; the team admin can reassign ownership.

Roles

A role is a set of permissions bundled into one label. Vantage ships with three built-in roles:

RoleWhat members can do
AdminFull control, manage members, change roles, access billing
EngineerCreate and run workloads, manage their own resources
ViewerRead-only, see cluster status, jobs, and usage

Team admins can create custom roles with specific permission combinations.

Membership across teams

A user can be a member of multiple teams simultaneously, potentially with different roles in each. The active team is shown in the top-right workspace picker. Resources are created in the active team, switch teams before creating a resource if you want it owned by a different group.

Resource visibility

Team-scoped resources are invisible to other teams by default. To share a resource, for example, making a storage volume available to another team's jobs, you use the sharing controls on the resource detail page. Shared resources are read-only for the receiving team unless the owner grants write access.
