Group Permissions

Each project member can have one of the following roles within a project: administrator or member. In SimpleVM projects, each role has different permissions.

An administrator has the most permissions, not limited to their own resources, like virtual machines, volumes, or snapshots. They can prevent members from creating new virtual machines and toggle this setting in the project overview. They can interact with workshops.

A member has the fewest permissions, limited to their own resources, like virtual machines, volumes, or snapshots. Administrators and others must grant access to their resources first. Workshop participants with the member role have no permission to create new virtual machines by default.

The following table illustrates the permissions:
